MS Word Combo Box Drop Down Issue

[etaylor]

I was trying to create Combo Box in Microsoft Word in OfficeXP/Office2000 both, but on the DROP DOWN FORM FIELD OPTION, its does not allow me to add more then 25 items. Checked with microsoft Knolegdebase and they article #306258, described only about the 'TEXT FORM FIELD' issue, but not the 'DROP-DOWN FORM FIELD' issue.

Appreciate any one can help me to resolve it.

I have not heard anyone be able to exceed that limitation with a FORM FIELD dropdown. However, perhaps you can break them down into a couple of *groups*? Or, perhaps you can use conditional ones as shown here:

Yikes, I am covered in blushes... makes me want to have a tennis ball in my mouth.

Sad, but true. Max of 25 items. However, from a design point of view, I think even 25 is too many. There is likely to be a better way of getting the information. I can not think of something that would legitimately require you to choose one out of > 25 items.
