Snippets in drop-down text?

A user recently asked about using drop-downs in snippets. I need to do the opposite -- use snippets in the drop-down text in a help topic. Seems like it ought to be possible. But I haven't figured out how. Anyone?
Thanks.

Hi there

How exactly have you tried inserting the snippets into the Drop-down?

If you tried the "RoboHelp" way of just plopping things into that frustrating little popup window, you might try a different approach. Insert the snippets directly into the topic as you would want to see them when the drop-down has been clicked. Then select them and cut them to the Windows Clipboard. Then paste that into the frustrating little window. See if that holds.

Another possible thought is that maybe create a single cell table and insert them into that. Maybe the additional container code for the table will cause the RoboHelp editor to see things differently? But I'd try the former first.

Cheers... Rick
