Issue with the dropdown field in Outlook 2010 form

[derby46a]

Hello,



I've added (3) dropdown fields in a form for an email I've created in Outlook 2010. I've looked throughout the internet, but cannot find answers for the following:

a) How do I add a blank to be the first item in the dropdown?

b) When I run the form and select a value in the dropdown, the value appears in all (3) dropdowns. How can I associate my selection in a dropdown for just that label and not the other 2 labels? (Ex: If I select I want 'a box' under my 'Ketchup' label, I don't want that same selection to appear under the 'Mayo' and 'Mustard' labels.)

c) Since MS Word is my editor, why can't I just open a new email in Outlook and begin adding all of the neat fields and controls (dropdowns, checkmark boxes, etc.) available in Word 2010 instead of having to create a form in Outlook?

I'm stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, derby46a
