Can you text wrap in a drop down?

I am new to LiveCycle 7.0 and I am able to create the forms I want but there's always something. I create drop downs just fine and add my choices but here's the rub. I have one drop down that has some pretty long text choices. I have been trying to figure out how to wrap those choices so that they can be read in total since they are cut off on a single line. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that; or maybe its impossible?

Unfortunately, you can't wrap text in a drop down list. The best that'll happen is that if the item text values are wider than the drop down list itself, a tooltip containing the full item text value should appear when the mouse is over the item in question.



Usually, the drop down list is as wide as the longest item text value in the list but that's not the way Acrobat has created their "PDF drop down list control".
