I created a form in a template for my company's fax cover page. I
want to put all the employee names in a drop-down list in the "From"
field. Unfortunately, Word permits only 25 entries in a drop-down
form field, and we have 29 employees.
I tried using an AutoTextList[1] field (which allowed me to use all 29
names) while using ordinary form fields for the rest of the form.
Unfortunately, this caused problems when I protected the document.
The form fields worked properly, but when I right-clicked on the
"From" field, all the autotext entries were greyed-out, and I could
not select any of them.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
