Default Insert cross-reference "reference type" drop-down list length

In the Microsoft Word 2007 "Insert Cross Reference" dialog box, the
"Reference Type" drop-down box contains 8 items to insert different things
(Numbered Item, Heading, Bookmark, etc.), but the drop-down box only displays
6 items at once.

It seems that I need the ones on the bottom of the list -- Figure and Table
-- the most often, so I have to scroll down quite a bit!

There's plenty of real estate on that dialog -- the drop-down box could
easily show all 10 items without exceeding the window height, and it would
save a lot of clicking for that scrolling. Alternately, that legacy drop-down
list could be replaced with some Office 2007-esque icons along the top or the
side... but just changing the default list height of that drop-down list box
from 6 to 8 would really cut down on needless scrolling.

Thanks for your consideration,

Matthew
