Default Copying drop down menus

Is there a way to copy an entire drop-down menu from one Word document and paste it into another Word document? I've found how to select a single element from a drop-down menu, but not the entire menu.
Thanks.



Edited to clarify that I am trying to do this specifically with a macro using VBA. The Dropdown command seemingly allows one item to be copied, but not the whole dropdown menu.

Yes. Select the menu and copy. Then paste.
Would you care to tell us more about the menu? There are multiple ways to create such menus.
I am assuming you mean a menu that is in the document body.

VBA can easily copy/paste and entire dropdown - or any other content - from one Word document to another. See, for example: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...documents.html.

Of course, you would need to specify both the source and target ranges correctly, but you haven't given us any indication of what those are.
