As a typist we hate to take our hands off the keyboard and use the mouse.

For example a form with the following options: 1. Sara went to the zoo to look at the elephants and the giraffes and played with the baby goats. 2. Sara stayed at home and made cupcakes and lemonade in the kitchen with her friends. etc. It seems that the drop down lists box options are limited to a few words only. I need options that are much longer than those permitted. Any clues? Maybe another Office package? Thank you. Is it possible to make a list with whole sentences as list items.

Unprotect your form so that you can edit it. Click in one of your fields to select it. Double-click the field. The Drop-Down Form Field Options will open. In the Drop-down item area, type the number of spaces as your longest word. Click Add. To move the empty "spaces" field to the top, use the up arrow. I hope this has been helpful to you!

Does that make sense? Can MSWord do that? How? Thank you.
