Change the width of a drop down list form field on a form
I´m creating a form using word 2003. I need to increase the size of the
field of a drop down list in order to include some large items. There´s no option to change the width when I click properties. There some other way to change it, so I could include more than the characters permitted by default? I´ll appreciate your answer. |

Change the width of a drop down list form field on a form
An item in a drop-down form field can include up to 50 characters (even
though you cannot see all 50 characters simultaneously in the "Drop-down item" field in the Drop-Down Form Field Options dialog €“ just continue typing). If you need more than 50 characters, you could create a UserForm (i.e. a custom dialog box created in VBA). See the following articles: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "mbermudez" wrote: I´m creating a form using word 2003.
