Max. characters in MS Word Dropdown

[weeze2]

Hi there,

There is only room for 50 characters in a dropdown-formfield (MS-Word)?

I need to get 57 characters into a dropdown list but I can not see how that is possible.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi weeze2,

I'm afraid they are limited to 50 characters - can you not abbreviate your text?

Before you stumble over this as well, you should be aware that they are also limited to a maximum of 25 entries.

Enjoy,
Tony

For a formfield dropdown, you are stuck. You could use an ActiveX dropdown.
