SYMPTOMS
When you import an HTML form that contains a drop-down field with more than 25 items ( tags), Word Internet Assistant drops all items past the twenty-fifth item.

Your form contains a drop-down field with more than 25 items. Word is limited to a maximum of 25 items in a drop-down form field.

If you open or save such a file using the HTML converter, the converter will delete all items above 25.
