Lookup Edit - Wrap Text

Is it possible - eg on account name on contact detail (lueAccount) - to make the text of the lookup wrap to multi lines for accounts with long names?
Thanks

You could potentially replace the lue (which is a single line control) with a memo and then handle interactions with code.

| The very first thing I do to a new client's Account and Contact detail views is the increase the length of the Account name. A lot! But yes, there is a practical limit to the length. I've seen account or company names which are more than 64 characters. I've also seen contact name of great length. But I read somewhere that the average full name is 23 characters. That's all. One method you can use to handle this situation is to pop (ie: make visible) a special panel containing a REALLLLLY long text box or lue just for those names. |

Thank you guys. I had thought of the memo idea already, but was just trying to keep as close to OOTB as possible. Robert, your extra-wide popup idea is interesting ... will think about that.
