I am creating a form and I want to use the drop down boxes. I figured
out how to use them but the field size is limited. How can I expand the
field size to fit what I want to write in the drop down box? Thanks.

The dropdown box on the Forms toolbar is limited to 25 items and 50
characters per item. There's no way to expand those limits.

If your requirements demand more, create a userform. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm and

Thanks for the info. I'm disappointed in microsoft. The userform is a
bit out of my league. Thanks anyway.
