Hi,

for entering more than one list-entry, you have to type shift + enter.

This is not user-friendly, because most users dono that they have to do so (I
had also firstly to look into the internet how to do so, after a user called me,
and I am using OpenOffice every day).

Would be better if there would be a button and a extra window, wherer you could
enter the single list-elements by "Add" and move them up and down in the list by
arrow-buttons (like MS Office handels it)...

Thanks and regards

I hope you find these Screenshot useful.

I have just an german version of MS Office at work installed.

You see at the left side a field named Dropdown-Element, there you could enter a
new item.
Via HinzufÃ¼gen (means add) you add this to the list at the right side, where you
could move the single items in the list up and down by the arrow-keys...

This dialog opens when you double click the the ComboBox... 

I think its ok, that in OpenOffice opens the window, which is opening in the
moment :)
But I want to have instead of these drop-down-list for list-entry (or however it
is called in the english-version) where you have to press Shift+Enter, a button
where you get a window similar to the one in the attachment...
