I guess for the most part, I&#8217;ve never had more than 100 items in a column, so I never noticed, but it would display 100 items.

The thing is, that lookup column pulls the number of items that are displayed in the &#8220;default view&#8221; of the contact list. I.e. the default view for a Contacts List is called &#8220;All Contacts&#8221; and its item display limit is 100 (by default). By setting that limit to something higher, I was able to manipulate then, what appeared in the column in the Document Information Panel. So, I cranked that up to a point that I was comfortable with and the problem was solved. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/brainlitterarchive\/Lists\/Photos\/072410_0157_DocumentInf2.png\"> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#4f81bd;font-size:9pt\"><strong>Figure 2 : After bumping up the default view item limit, my Ribbon dropdown played along nicely <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Notes\/Reminders <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember, don&#8217;t start getting all crazy on y our item displays.
