Default Allow in-cell editing: creating custom dropdown box

I am working with Outlook 2002 and I've set Outlook to allow in-cell
editing. Now, some of the columns within Outlook do by default have a
dropdown box from which a specific, predefined, value can be chosen.
Now, what I want to do is create my own custom dropdown box, filled
with my own values, so that users can choose one of these values. Does
someone know if this is possible in Outlook 2002, because I could not
find a way to do anything on dropdown boxes within Outlook. Thanks in
advance.

The OP won't find help there, there's no way to extend the choices available
in the drop-downs such as Importance or Sensitivity.
