Is there a way to have the items in a drop down list be 2 lines per item?  I
want to put a drop down list in a table cell so that the item appears on two
lines in the cell when I move to the next cell.  In other words, I don't care
how it appears in the list but want it to end up being two lines in the cell
when finished.

Example:
  One of the items in the list:
      "Mary had a lamb"
  In the Cell after selection:
       "Mary had"
       "a lamb"
(without the quotes)

Hi =?Utf-8?B?UmlwcGVyZGFu?=,

The only possiblity would be to use a macro. There's an example on my website
(Forms section) for using ampersands (&) in the dropdown result. You can adapt
this to write the full text into an immediately adjacent text box...
