If you created the dropdowns by using the Combobox from the Control Toolbox
Toolbar, then you can set a property (.matchentry) to do what you want.

The Dropdown from the Forms toolbar and Data|Validation don't support this kind
of thing.

I have a spreadsheet with many many drop-down lists. Is there any way
for a user to enter the first letter of an option and automatically
jump to that option in the list?

The goal is to make this faster to use than (or at least as fast as)
writing it out, and right now, clicking on, scrolling through, and
selecting from each drop-down is a lengthy process.
