Select multiple entries from input list in Writer

That's exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. When I add the ListBox and turn design mode off, I just get an empty rectangle with a non-functioning drop down triangle button. Any suggestions?

@Matt: I've emended my answer and added some info how to bind the control to a data source.

Thanks, that probably has gotten it to doe what it is supposed to do, but not exactly what I want it to do. I can select multiple entries from a list (although the ListBox must be big enough to see all entries, it doesn't make a true dropdown) but it just leaves those entries highlighted.

What I want to do is select entries and have only the selected entries displayed.

@Matt: So, if your list has entries A, B, C - you select A and C - then B should "disappear" from the list? I fear this isn't possible - maybe using a macro to modify the data source, but this would be quite complicated (what if the user wants to revise his selection?).

I am beginning to realize it is not possible in LibreOffice. Thanks for your help. Just to clarify though, theoretically the "list object" would exist in the document independent of what is displayed/printed. Thus selecting items from the list displays them but does not alter the list.

That would make revisions relatively easy. I have seen this functionality in software such as EPIC, but was not aware just how complex it must be. Thanks again for your assistance.
