How can you modify the properties of the pop-up window that is displayed when text in a drop down list is really long and can't be viewed in the drop down? The text does not wrap, but if the pop-up could be modified to be viewed in paragraph from verusu a long sentence that runs off the screen, that would help.

Drop down lists are not meant to hold paragraphs of info. The field was designed to show a short string. So you can't do this. It's outside the scope of what the drop down list was designed for. What you can do, and is a much better idea, is to use a text box to display a paragraph of info for the selected entry in a drop down list.
