Is is possible to use an external reference for a drop down box in word? I
have several forms that use scientist names and do not want to change all the
forms when a new scientist joins the team.

Only by using macros.

An alternative could be to store the names as AutoText entries in the forms'
template(s). Format the entries with a particular style name so that they'll be
style-specific and use an AutoTextList field.
