Adding text from a word doc to a drop down menu

New Here ,

I have created a drop down menu in a form. I want to take a list of criminal offenses from a word document and turn them into choices in this drop down box. The list is extremely long, is there a way I can do this all at once rather than doing each offense one at a time? I tried to copy the text from the word document and paste it into the section for the drop down box but that did not work.

If you save the Word document as a plain-text file then you could use a script to do it, such as this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Import Items from a Text File to a Combo-Box or List Field
