Microsoft Word is useful for many more things than just composing documents.

If
you need to get feedback from clients or employees, you can use Word to make it
easier for them to answer your questions by including drop-down boxes. Insert as
many boxes as you wish to limit answers to yes or no, or to limit their answers to
ranges you specify, such as "1-10," "11-20" or "Not Applicable."

There are two drop-down box options in Word. The Drop-Down List is to allow the
reader to select one of the options you specify. The Combo Box includes the
answers you specify, but also gives readers the opportunity to type their own
option.

Open the Developer Tools

To insert a drop-down box, you'll first have to unlock Word's Developer Tools.
Microsoft Word 2010 and later, including Office 365 and Word 2019, come with
Developer Tools, but they aren't visible until you unlock them. To access Developer
Tools:

1. Launch Word; click the "File" tab, then select "Options" at the bottom-right of
the window. Select "Customize Ribbon" in the Word Options window.
2. Select "Main Tabs," and then click the "Developer" check box to enable
Developer tools.
3. Click "OK."

Not only do the developer tools allow you to insert drop-down boxes, you can also
insert check boxes, date pickers and text control areas in which readers can enter
text where you specify.
