Default Drop Down Box Length

Unfortunately there is a learning curve to vba programming, however, a
similar study came up recently in the vba programming group and the solution
I came up with could easily be adapted to your requirements, but it will
require you to transfer some macros to your template and to add a userform.

That thread can be seen at
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8968d?lnk=raot

It would be far simpler and quicker for me to add the userform to the
template than to try and explain it in simple terms - if you can send me
your template to the link on the home page of my web site.

I will need to know also the alternative texts associated with the
paragraphs and whether the template is for your own use or will be
distributed to others.

I am not familiar with programming complex macros and the directions on
the
site are foreign to me (sorry). Do you have a step-by-step process??

I know that you can only have a drop down box be so long (NOT number
of
items
to choose from but number of characters on a line). Is there any
work
around
this? I want to create a form letter where the person creating the
letter
has to choose between one paragraph or the other (using a drop down
box).
The form must be lockable.

I was thinking about creating a macro that inserted the verbiage I
needed
but not sure if this would work or how to do it.
