Hi Jimish

Yes, drop-downs (Combo boxes) do do this.

Best regards

IF IT DOES THAT CAN YOU HELP ME ON HOW TO DO THAT. THANKS

Assuming you want this combobox on a worksheet.
Click ViewToolbarsControl Toolbox.
On the control Toolbox click on the combobox and then click and drag on
you sheet to place the combobox.
Right click the combobox and select Properties.
Make sure tha AutoWordSelect is set to True.
Set ListFillRange to be the range that has the list of items you want ot
appear in the combobox eg A2:A28.
Set LinkedCell as the cell you want to hold item selected in the combobox.
Close the Properties window.
On the Control Toolbox click Exit Design Mode (top left button).
Close Control Toolbox.

Hope this helps
Rowan
