add more than 25 items to dropdown field

[Guest]

Is it possible to add more than 25 items to the dropdown form field? Also,
is there a way to import that information from another source?

No, that's an absolute limit for that kind of dropdown. To get more, you
have to create a userform and place a combobox or listbox in it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm.

Once you have a userform, you can get the information from almost any
source -- a Word document, a text file, an Excel worksheet, an Access
database...

If you need further help with this, post questions in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms.
