  For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
    aCC.Range.Select
    If aCC.Type <> wdContentControlDropdownList Then
      aCC.Range.Text = ""
    Else
      aCC.Type = wdContentControlText
      aCC.Range.Text = ""
      aCC.Type = wdContentControlDropdownList
    End If
  Next aCC
  ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields
End Sub
This code will fail if the form is not already protected or has a password so a better solution would be to add more lines of code to check first.
The two codes you -Guessed & gmaxey- provided me , are working very effectively!

When I applied them to more forms, especially with a few boxes, they work perfectly!
I'll have to make do with it right now.

I need to take the time and try to learn more about the "preparation" of the form for the code , all in order to make intelligent use of the useful codes that you have given me.

Thank you very very much for your warm hospitality and helpful explanations.
