Drop-Down List Box Limit
Is there any way around the limit of 25 items in a drop-down list box in
Microsoft Word 2003? I keep getting the error message: "You can have no more than 25 items in your drop-down list box". Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!! |

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!! The dropdown form field's limit of 25 can't be expanded. To work around it, you have to create a UserForm (a custom dialog box) and put a list box or combo box there. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm. -- 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. |

Drop-Down List Box Limit
Here is an adapted version of the one Jay mentions. It displays the
Userform at the location of the dropdown and you can use an external data source: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/FormField_...rm_ListBox.htm -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "RS" wrote in message ...
