A textinput field will wrap in a form, but the contents of a drop-down will
not.

You've summarized the problem already: there is no way to make a
dropdown item more than one line.

What are you trying to do? Can you use short titles to summarize your
entries? If so, see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm for an
alternative.

I was afraid there was no other solution. I'll see what can be done to
shorten the text.
