Thanks for the tips, mkh1958.

Actually, I'm familiar with the use of the drop-down list that you forwarded to me. I was hoping there was a MSWord function that would allow dependent lists.

I went ahead and added an excel field in the word document as a means of providing users with a group of dependent drop-downs. It's not quite as stable as I would like, but it does the job.

If anyone else happens to know of a way of doing the same with a Word Forum instead of with an excel insert I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!
