Longer list of delay times for re-reminding

With Outlook 2003, if a reminder popped up for something 10 days in advance,
and I wanted to be reminded again in 4 days, I had to click the scroll bar
once.  That was unhandy.  Now with Outlook 2007, the list of delay
possibilities is even shorter and I have to click the scroll bar twice to get
to 4 days.

How can I tell Outlook 2007 to give me the whole list of reminder delays so
I never have to scroll down to the time I want before being reminded again?

Thank you!

No, I hadn't thought of that.  It probably is possible; I'll try it.  But if
anyone knows how to make the whole list show up at once, I think I still
would prefer that, since my hand is on the mouse, not the keyboard, at the
time I want to choose a reminder interval.

you can't make it longer. you'll either need to use the mouse, use the arrow
buttons or just type the time in. I think shortcuts work, so you can type 4d
for 4 days.

Thanks again, Diane.  I was hoping for a registry value to change or an
option hiding somewhere in a menu like the number of previous files to
display in the file open list.  The shortcuts will help a lot.
