Is there a way to reference the choices provided in a drop down list of a
Combo Box from a txt file or macro stored in the Word Template?  I have a
Word Form with many combo boxes that should have the same choices but need to
store them outstide of the code because I get an error that the code is too
long.

I think you have to provide more details.

Where are the ComboBoxes? (Or what type are they: Form fields, ActiveX, on a
userform)?
What does the code do?
What is the actual error message?
When does it pop up?

If you are simply talking about the "25-items limit in dropdown form
fields", see:
