form fields not working in a table

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create a drop down list in a table in word (this document is
an existing document and the function works correctly on another document).
Unfortunately my arrows aren't showing up and there is no way to access the
other options on the list.

Thanks,

Jo

The document needs to be protected for forms to have formfields work
properly. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form."
Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
