Hi all,
i find difficlties to use a combo box without using vba in order to
fill the component with items
is there a way to use the combo box's properties to fill in items
without any macros or vba code?

Or, if you don't want to use a protected form, try an AutoTextList
field (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm).
