resize my drop-down list to include all choices without scrolling

[ssdls2]

I created a fillable form with LiveCycle Designer ES (version 8.2) that has a drop-down list on it.  I have nine possible choices in the list.  Because of the fact that it is nine choices instead of 8, a scroll-bar is created for the user to scroll down to pick the last item on the list if that is the item they need to choose.  Since I am only 1 over the default of 8, I would like to know if there is any way to display all 9 choices without a scrollbar to see the complete list of choices.  If this requires me to do some programming on the XML tab of LiveCycle Designer ES, I will need specifics.  Thanks!

Not that I am aware of.

why don't you change the drop down to a "list box" ?

Good question xrum.   I was hoping to stick with the drop-down format because it is in between 2 other drop-down fields on the form.  Our users are also used to seeing the drop-down fields on other forms that we have.  I like the consistent appearance that I get when making them all drop-downs, but I don't like the fact that I am limited to only 8 choices without causing the user to scroll.
