Multi-line "choices" in a combo box

Working with an old database that had two fields: Address1 and Address2. This was to be used for two line street addresses. I prefer using the Ctrl+Enter feature to capture those rare two line addresses into a single record.
However, when that field is used for "choices" in a Combo Box only one line appears!! Is there a way that I can direct the Row Source to display a "taller" row? I can control the Column Width of the Row Source Items, but want to control the Row Height to show both lines. Any suggestions?

If it was me, I'd
  1. Leave it as two fields
  2. If not already done, make a Query from your Table
  3. Add a Calculated Field to the Query using CombinedAddress: [Address1] & " " & Nz([Address2],"")
  4. Use the Query as the Combobox RowSource
With the Calculated Field CombinedAddress as the bound field of the Combobox, the address will reflect
both Address1 & Address2.
