If I have a table in Word, does anyone know how to insert into it those subsidiary little tables that make the person filling it in choose between options? It seems that my usual fall-back of Cut and Paste doesn't work. Or even what this function is called so that I can find it in the Help menu?

I probably should know, but I'm afraid I don't :-(

Tables are one of those things that just make me fling my hands in the air in defeat. Best of luck.

I can't remember how, but I think I came across it once by right-clicking on a cell somewhere...

Which version of Word?

If Word 2010, possibly:
http://www.addictivetips.com/microsoft-office/create-user-entry-forms-in-word-2010/

which helpfully includes the line: "Form controls are bundled under Developer tab, which is by default hidden."

I would be disappointed in you were it Excel, but will give you a pass on Word!

I can do tables, but not table when they start getting fancy (though the same doc has a random "protected" bit. why?

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!

In return I give you one-line Wimseyfic:

"Peter," said Harriet, "if you don't stop playing that bloody piano when I'm trying to work, I shall not be responsible for my actions."

(do not have icon of Harriet bashing him over the head with a typewriter)

That also turns out to be where Word 2010 was hiding the "record macro" button so I'm quite pleased to have found it on my own account..
