Default Wordwrap in dropdowns (list from data validation)

Arun

You cannot word-wrap a list for DV.

What you can do is use event code to make the list wider when you click on the
drop-down.

See Debra Dalgeish's site for code.

dropdown list is truncated to fit column width.

The text boxes themselves are wordwrap enabled, but this does not make a
difference- pls drop a line if you know how to resolve this.

thanks in advance!
