How to create an editable dropdown list with more than 256 characters in Microsoft Word?
We've tried the following in Microsoft Word however, it did not meet our goal of being able to display more than 256 characters in the dropdown and edit it. We need something that works without issue...
Quick Parts are but one type of Building Block.
They can have many more than 256 characters but cannot be stored in a document but only in a template.
Where can Building Blocks be stored?
Why legacy form controls?
See Building Blocks Gallery Content Control.
This can have the property that once it is used the list disappears, leaving only the choice made.
What do you mean by an "editable dropdown list?"
Do you want the user to be able to edit the list? Or edit what it produces?
