Extended the number of characters allowed in drop-down form field
I've created a drop-down field form list but some of my entries are longer
than the allocated number of characters i.e. my options are truncated when viewed in the form. Can anyone suggest a way to extend/increase the number of characters allowed for each entry? Similarly, is there a way to increase the number of allocated characters allowed in the description in the help section of a text form field? Many thanks. |

Extended the number of characters allowed in drop-down form field
Hi ?B?cGxmMTAw?=,
I've created a drop-down field form list but some of my entries are longer than the allocated number of characters i.e. my options are truncated when viewed in the form. Can anyone suggest a way to extend/increase the number of characters allowed for each entry? Similarly, is there a way to increase the number of allocated characters allowed in the description in the help section of a text form field? No and no. But there is a Knowledge Base article that describes how you can use a macro to work around the problem(s): WD2000: How to Create a Combo Box Containing More Than 25 Items http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;198561 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
