You can create dropdown lists in Word by using the Drop-Down Form Field
tool on the Forms toolbar. However, you won't be able to copy and paste
this into Excel.

In Excel, you can create dropdown lists by using the combobox from the
Forms toolbar, or from the Control toolbox.

You may find them more difficult to use than data validation lists.

Can I create a drop down menu in Word (I have no idea how to), then cut and

I click in another cell, the drop down arrow (next to the cell) disappears.
Is there a way to keep that arrow on display, regardless of which cell you
click in? So that it is always obvious that there is a drop down menu?
