Copy entries into a Form Field and 25 item limit?

[Jugglertwo]

A student asked this recently and I don't know.
1) Is there a way to get items into a dropdown form field without typing
each one? I tried copy and paste but it only brings one item at a time.
2) They have over 100 items that they would like to appear in the dropdown
form field. It is my understanding that 25 is the limit. Can this 25 be
overridden in any manner?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

1) Not without using VBA.
2) No. 25 is a hard coded limit.
