Listbox text properties

Hi There,

I am creating a form letter with a drop-down formfield that has only
three entries. The text of one of the entries is longer than allowed.
How can I change the properties?

Thanks,

Maria

You can't. But you might be able to make use of the following:

' Macro created 15-11-97 by Doug Robbins to add the address corresponding to
a drop down name
'
Set myDrop = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown1").DropDown
Company = myDrop.ListEntries(myDrop.Value).Name
Address = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(Co mpany).Value
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = Address

Hi Doug,

Thanks so much for your help. I used this code:

Public Sub add_listentry()
With Documents("POA NR - NO COVERAGE CHG.doc").FormFields("dropdown1")
_
.DropDown.ListEntries
.Add Name:="Power of Attorney and Declaration of Attorney-in-Fact"
End With
End Sub

I have another question? When the user selects this text from the
listbox the text moves down to the next line. How would I left justify
the selection?

Thanks,

Maria
