MS Word 2002 Drop Down box text length
I have created a drop down box in MS Word 2002, and it works fine, but it
places a limit on the length of the individual items in the drop down. How can I increase the text length or the amount of characters allowed? I am trying to create a form that allows users to pick questions from a list, but the questions keep getting chopped off. |

You'll have to 'graduate' to a userform, which is a custom dialog you program in VBA. The article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 describes doing this to work around the limit of 25 items in a forms dropdown, but it's also the workaround for the limit of 50 characters per item. Also see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm. If you have questions or problems, ask in the Userforms newsgroup (http://www.microsoft.com/communities...a.userform s). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
