I have received an MS Word 2010 document containing drop boxes. In windows I can see the drop boxes and their content in Word for Mac I only see the box outline and top loine, there is no drop box functionality.
Mar 05, 2018 When hovering over the Drop-Down List Control, the text is shaded in grey, and when the Drop-Down List Control is selected, the title box is displayed with drop down arrow. When clicking on the arrow, all the list items created in step 3 will be displayed and available for selection. Enjoy including Drop-Down lists in your future Microsoft Word. A drop-down list appears. From the drop-down menu, click Restrict Formatting and Editing. Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane appears on the right hand side. From this dialog box, select option Allow only this type of editing in the document option. A drop-down is enabled. Select Filling in forms option from the drop-down list. See below image. Creating a Form with Legacy Form Fields. Legacy form fields are the field types that were available in earlier versions of Word. You can continue to use them in Word 2016, and you must use them for forms to be saved in Word 97-2003 format. Legacy form fields are accessible from the Legacy Tools button’s menu in the Controls group on the Developer tab, as you saw in Figure 16.6. Select the cell in the worksheet where you want the drop-down list. Go to the Data tab on the Ribbon, then click Data Validation. On the Settings tab, in the Allow box, click List. If you already made a table with the drop-down entries, click in the Source box, and then click and drag the cells that contain those entries.
Drop Down Lists In Microsoft Word Not Working On Mac After Update
The person who put the spreadsheet together provided me with this info - any ideas how I can get the drop box functionality to work???
'We used Microsoft Word 2010. We inserted the drop down boxes, etc. using the Developer tab. In the Developer tab, the functions we inserted are called Legacy Forms and ActiveX Controls. We inserted all the functions using Word, not Excel. The drop down option is called Drop-Down List Content Control.'
