Can I increase the number of characters in a drop-down menu field?
Creating a letterhead in our company's templates, I'm listing in a drop-down
menu the addresses we have from the different offices. However, when I want to include the whole address in a single field, the field doesn't allow me to write more than around 21 characters. So far I'm dividing the address in two drop-down menus, but would like to know if it's possible to change the number of characters allowed for this type of form field. Thanks for any contribution. |

You might want to try an AutoTextList field instead. This would permit you
to use the AutoText entry names rather than the entire content. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm -- Suzanne S.
