word wrap in list items

Hi,
I've got a list on a form. Strings in the list are prety long.
Is there any way I can make strings to wrap in several lines.
thanx

If the text box is tall enough to accomodate two lines of text, text that
doesn't fit on one line it should break to the second line on its own. To
get the text to break to a new line at a specific place, in an expression
use Chr(13) & Chr(10):

="First line " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Second Line"

In VBA you can use vbCrLf instead of Chr(13) & Chr(10)

For a more detailed response a more detailed question is needed.

alekem,
Not that I'm aware of. You could try a web search under "combo" "text" "wrap" or..
"listbox" "text" "wrap".
A few suggestions...
Create a field in your table that is just a short "summary" of the long text. Just
enough to have meaning to the user. That can be displayed, and the long text can be
"hidden" in a list column.
Or, create a small continuous subform that simulates a list box. Each subform record
could have a "select" button to intitiate the selection code.
