Using Excel 2002 & 2003

When I add a DataValidation to my sheet, the elements in the dropdown
are
small (I guess size 8). I would like to change this to something else
like
10
however I can't seem to find the property. It seems that this control
is
different to the control toolbox dropdoen.

Any ideas how to adjust the font properties of this control? How to I
reference it?

n.b. Am using Excel 2000 SP3.
