AutoComplete Dropdown list

[Debbiedo]

I am trying to design a protected MS Word 2003 template. Data from
this form will eventually be imported into Access. One of the fields
will be used to do a join on a look up table in Access so the
information inputted into the word document must be standardized.

I figure I will have to create a drop down list to accomplish this.
The problem is that the list has about 100 items. I would like the
user to add the first few letters and have it autocomplete the item in
the list and populate the field with this.

From what I have read the Word drop down list option can handle only

25 items. What do I need to do to make a list of 100 items and how do
I get it to use autocomplete? This form will be on over 20 separate
computers.

Suggestions anyone? Thank you in advance.

You need a userform (custom dialog) with a list box or a combo box. Read
