Increasing max-length of drop down menu

[Frederick S.]

Is there a way to increase the max length of a pull down
menu? I believe the max-length for this is set to 31 chars.
Is there a way to increase this?

Thanks,
Frederick S.

What do you mean by a pull down menu? If it's a DropDown type formfield,
the maximum length is 50 characters and there is no way to increase that.
If it's an item on a menu such as File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools,
Table, Window, Help, then I don't thing there is a limit, or at least, I
just saved a document with a filename that contains 115 characters and it
displays completely when I access the Window menu.

Sorry for not being more clear. What I meant to say was
Drop Down form field. I was hoping that there was a way to
increase the max length of this field.
