Working on it

Currently only rich text content controls are available through Word API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/word/word.contentcontrol?view=word-js-preview#word-word-contentcontrol-type-member)

Could you please add also other types of content control? 

In particular in my company we need DropDown and CheckBox.

@Yun_Wang Are there plans/or working on support for the other content control types as well?
