Data - Validation...

Change the "Allow" to "List", make sure the In-cell dropdown is
checked, and supply the list of values in the "Source" area. (Can be a
typed list, a list somewhere in the spreadsheet, etc)

Click in the cell(s) where the drop-down should appear and select Data
Validation. You'll probably select a 'List' and either type the values
(separated by commas) or indicate a range of cells where each cell contains
one valid selection.
You'll also have options to select what action to take if an invalid value
is entered (stop, show a warning, ...)

Go to Debra Dalgleish's web site and scroll down to the D's.

Check out the pages on "Data Validation", for all you'll need to know about
