Default Drop down list and sublists in Word 2007

Hi



I'm a newbie so be gentle ;-)

I've searched high and low for an answer to my question. I apologise if this appears on another thread but couldn't find it...so please feel free to point me in right direction.

I am creating a Word document in Word 2007 which will be a form for a user to complete. I have created drop down menus within the document and they all work fine.

However, I want a sub drop down menu (not sure if that's even the right terminology). For example, if the user selects "Administration" from the drop down list, a sub list becomes available to show the 5 options available under this category or if the user selects "Cleaning" then a different drop down list appears with the 3 options available under this catoegory.

I've Googled til my eyes are ready to drop out and can see that this is possible in Excel (even though I couldn't get it to work but putting it down to frustration).

Is something like this possible in Word 2007 and if so, is there a tutorial or someone who knows how to do this that could help me?

Many thanks in anticipation :-)

Lynn
