Drop Down List in Word Forms

D

DLH

Does anyone know how to have a drop-down list in a Word 2007 form that you
can activate by tabbing to that field and using the cursor keys on the
keyboard to display the choices and make a selection? It only seems to work
with the mouse.
Thanks.

After tabbing into the dropdown, press Alt+down arrow to open the dropdown. You
can then use the arrow keys to navigate up and down the list, and Enter to
select the highlighted entry.

Use the legacy form fields from the Developer ribbon and protect the
document for forms for tab selection to work.
