Forms - Extending text length in drop-down boxes (Office 2003)

[Tim]

I am currently beign limited by the length of text that I can get in a
drop-down box on forms in Word 2003.

Is there a way that I can extend the amount of text that I can put in each
option?
Thanks very much.

No.

You can trigger a macro to display a Userform with a dropdown when you Enter
a textbox. Then the userform writes the selected text to the textbox.

See for example
