Wrap the Text in a Row in a List Box?

Can I have a column in a list box wrap the text inside and create a list that basically grows with the amount of text in it instead of having to create a really long list box in my form?

I tried a subform too - didn't like the look and feel, and every row had to be the same height which I don't either.

 
The longest field in a listbox can be 255 characters. Can't show memo fields in a listbox. Why do you need to show that much data in a listbox? You could take that field out, create an unbound textbox below/alongside of the listbox that'll show the long data after the user selects an item. You'd use Dlookup.
