I can create drop downs in Word, but I'd like to alter so that when a
specific item in the drop down is selected, it then brings up a text box
field. For example, if the last item in the drop down is "Other," if someone
selects "Other" I'd like it to then ask for a text description. Possible?

It's possible, but it takes a fair bit of doing with a macro. However,
there's no way to ensure that everyone who fills in your form allows
macros to run.

Before you go to all that effort, maybe for nothing, why not just put
a text box there so it's always available, and put some text next to
it saying "If you answered 'Other', please explain" or something to
that effect.
