Does there exist a CCK field that gives the person editing a page a dropdown list to choose predetermined items, and on the actual page when viewed it's just a text field?

If you wrote that when viewed it's 'just a label', instead of 'just a text field', I would tell you to use the built in 'Options Widget' module.

'text field' is for input. What do you mean?

I meant 'text field' in a rather subjective sense. I do not call blocks of text on a web page 'labels,' so the use of that term never even occurred to me. In fact, I do not refer to them as anything. It's just text on a page. If I were to refer to anything it would be the element the text is in (e.g. div, span, p, etc).

Anyway. What I want is this: a field on a page where, when viewed in Edit, it's a dropdown list of options. But when you just view the page normally, the field is just text based on the selection made in Edit.

'Options Widget' worked fine.

I can only see the Select list, is there a way to get a dropdown box aka combo box?
