It appears that it's not possible to increase the size of the validation drop
down list. The combo box is the alternative that will allow you to do this.

Thanks. I tried but no joy. This is the list I have created elsewhere in the
sheet to use as the validation list. When I right click on the dropdown box
it merely selects the line I am right-clicking on. I want more of my list to
show in the dropdown box.

If you're using a combobox you can right click it, go to format control,
under the control tab you can specify how many drop down lines you want.

Is that what you're looking for?

I currently have a list using validation and only so many line show up in the
drop down box. Is there a way to increase the size of the drop down box?
