I'm trying to develop an Intranet page for our company in
Word 2000 (SP3). I'm able to create drop down menus and
items in the menu, but I need to know how to create a
hyper-link from an item in the list so that when you click
on it, it goes to that link.

Having the drop down created and accessible?
Change to the following (inserting your data in place of the hypotheticals)
<a href="dropdown1.html">dropdown1</a>
<a href="dropdown2.html">dropdown2</a>
<a href="dropdown3.html">dropdown3</a>
etc., etc.

You will need to keep in mind that the link example I have provided is
relative to the current folder/directory.
You may require a more extensive relative link or even an absolute link.

Forgive my ignorance on this subject, but when I display
the source code, this is what I see:

<OPTION VALUE="Web Links">Web Links
<OPTION VALUE="United Way of Central Indiana">United Way
of Central Indiana

What I want to do is create a link to a web site, if
possible. I also will want to create links to documents
that may not be in the current folder, in fact, the
document may be on a different server altogether.

Edit this line to read the following:

<OPTION VALUE= <a href="http://www.uwci.org/" title""United Way of Central
Indiana">United Way of Central Indiana</a>

And the remaining lines accordingly.

I changed the value per your last reply. When I save it,
it comes back looking like this:<OPTION SELECTED
VALUE="<a" TITLE=United Way of Central Indiana>United
Way of Central Indiana
The http reference is gone, and doesn't work when I click
on it.
