You can't -- those limits are hard-coded into the Forms package. The
alternatives are to use the ActiveX combobox from the Control Toolbox
toolbar or to create a userform (a custom dialog) containing a combobox or a
listbox.

For the ActiveX control, see

For the userform, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm or
