Default Drop down options and controls in a Word form

I have a simple form with most fields using Plain Text Content Control. A few use Date Picker Content Control. The only other one I use is Drop-Down List Content Control for choice of names and for their addresses.

If the person filling in the form wishes to enter the date themselves they can simply click in the box and type the date, ignoring the option of the arrow that allows selection from a calendar.
However, if the person does not find the name they want in the Drop-Down List Content Control, they can't enter any data as you can with the date field.

Is there any way of allowing the user to either pick a name from the list or enter their own name?
Secondly, rather than have to select the address that goes with the name in the next field, can I automatically fill in the address that goes with the name, other than just using a single box for both name and address? If this single box method is the only way, how do I insert carriage returns into the lines of the address. (Tried ^p - doesn't work!).

Many thanks for considering my questions.

Ian
