Default Drop Down menu in a Cell

It is possible to create a drop down menu in a cell?
I would like to make spreadsheet with a number of these cells.
What is the proper name for doing this procedure?

TIA
Eric

Thank you Sandy,

I'm using Excel 2002 ver - that menu choice is not there?
I have 2003 at home - Is that something that has just been added?

Thanks,
eric

Hi,
Use Menu Data/Validation and then select a list etc.

Try view toolbars control toolbox

You'll probably want a "combo box"

Right clicking provides you several properties. Use ListFillRange for
starters.

xl2003 added data|list.

But I'd try data|validation before using a combobox. Data|validation is usually
a lot simpler to implement.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for a bunch of instructions:
