Hey Shalabh,

At first thought if I understand what you're wanting to do, there's currently no way to insert a data list, and there's no 'widget' for a dropdown list.

I'm thinking you could manually build one but may not be what you're wanting to do. If so, consider this:

1. Create a text box with your data list.

2. Each item on the list set as hyperlinks that Jump To a slide or Show Layer that will ultimately have more information.

3. Resize your list as wide as the widest list item.

3. Insert a Scrolling Panel and connect it to your data list text box.

Users could scroll the list, select a data item, and either jump to another slide or show a layer. Not exactly a dropdown list but adding a few creative graphic treatments to it would present it attractively.

Hope that helps.
