Can I increase the number of characters in a drop-down menu field?

Creating a letterhead in our company's templates, I'm listing in a drop-down
menu the addresses we have from the different offices. However, when I want
to include the whole address in a single field, the field doesn't allow me to
write more than around 21 characters. So far I'm dividing the address in two
drop-down menus, but would like to know if it's possible to change the number
of characters allowed for this type of form field.

Thanks for any contribution.

You might want to try an AutoTextList field instead. This would permit you
to use the AutoText entry names rather than the entire content. See
