Word 97 drop-down lists in on-line forms

Help!

I'm creating an on-line form in Word 97 which has drop-down lists.

My problem is that Word limits the list to 25 entries, and I need approximately 70 entries!!

Any help whatever to work around this (or change this internally) will be SO VERY MUCH appreciated!

I'm thinking that a dropdown list of 70+ entries will not even be visible in the size of the average monitor. Perhaps you can break these items down into some kind of categories, even if it's A-F, G-R, T-Z?

Consider using Excel for this form too because Excel will let you do data validation within a cell: list, and select a range of cells to list.

Tom emailed me saying that he didn't quite understand. I sent him a sample file with four dropdown form fields that contained names of animals, listed alphabetically. The boxes were labeled A-F, G-L, M-Q, and R-Z. If you hit the A-F, you got Aardvark, Anteater, etc.
