MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2006Word dropdowns limited to 25 entries????
I need to offer a dropdown that lists the states in the US - how can I achieve this if the dropdown can only handle 25 entries? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If Microsoft offers an article on one of its technical site to explain a complicated scheme as a workaround to the fact that you cannot have more that 25 items in a document formfield dropdown, then it probably means that it canot be done. At least, I (and evidently Microsoftas well) do not know how to do it.

I won't post my questions here anymore. > Kelly was telling us: > Kelly nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > it canot be done.

You did not bother me. It is not necessary to react as if you had been victimized. You asked a question regarding a problem you were facing, I gladly and promptly referred you to a solution offered by Microsoft itself (Also, in that reference, it plainly states that there is a limit of 25 items and you have to use a workaround), you came back seemingly ignoring the reference from Microsoft and stating you still wanted to make it work in a way that is not possible. Sorry, but what am I supposed to say? I just reiterated that as far as I know this is the only solution known to me and Microsoft (I did not invent this solution, I merely use it). Sorry to have ruffled your feathers... but I offered help, was ignored and I am the brute? Please, do come back with more questions whenever you want, do not let me stop you! I may even help you!

Sadly, the presumption of even minimal intelligence on the part of posters often proves to be a foolishness, > Kelly was telling us: > Kelly nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > stop you! > I may even help you! |
