I know that this is not exactly what you want, but it is information that can help you to handle your request yourself.
In the standard installation of Word 2016, you will initially not have access to the controls, which is why you have to activate their visibility first.
To do this, click in an open Word document in the “File” tab on “Options” and then on “Customize ribbon”.
Check the box next to “Developer Tools”.
Create drop-down list
First, place the cursor in your Word form where the drop-down list should appear later.
Click the Development Tools tab.
In the Controls group, click the drop-down list icon (combo box content control).
In the “Controls” group click on “Properties”.
properties
Finally, enter the names and values for your drop-down list in the “Properties of content control elements” menu (the drop-down list must be selected during this time).
Add drop-down list properties
Add content control properties
When you have entered all the properties, click OK.
Should work now
Drop Down drop calculate
{=Eingabe1+Eingabe2+(Multi*{ REF Dropdown1 })\#0,00}
You have to adjust it, of course
IMPORTANT: Everyone !! Create curly brackets with Ctrl + F9, change the field view with Alt + F9, update fields with F9.
Additional Information:
Create forms that users complete or print in Word
To create a form in Word that others can fill out, start with a template or document and add content controls. Content controls include things like check boxes, text boxes, date pickers, and drop-down lists. If you’re familiar with databases, these content controls can even be linked to data.
I would be happy to know if I could help.
