Default extend the range of cells for a drop down list

In 2003, when you do Insert - Name - Define, if you select the name, it
will revert back to the old list. Don't select the name. Type it in. HTH

I'm working with Excel 2003. I tried selecting the expanded list and
naming
it "staff"...it reverts back to the unexpanded list.

If you're using Excel 2007, simply delete the name "staff" and then
name
the new list "staff". In earlier versions you can simply name the new
list
"staff" without having to first delete that name. HTH Otto

I have a range of cells (named staff) on a worksheet in the workbook
where
the drop down list will be used. Additional cells were added to the
range
of
cells, but I can't get Excel to include them on the named list. Can I
not
expand the range of cells or do I need to name the expanded list with a
new
range name?
