Hi,

I know how to create a drop down list, but how do I add a "blank" so
whoever is is filling it out can write it in (i.e. your list contains "apple"
& "banana" only and then you someone wants to enter in orange, but it's not
available on the drop down list, is there an option where they can just write
it in rather then having to chose from apple and banana?)?

Just below "Definitely a DV dropdown." you will see three sources for DV
lists.

Just add a name to whichever list you're drawing from.

I simply want to add another name to the DV list that I already have created.
How?

Definitely a DV dropdown.

The list for that could be a range of cells on the sheet.

A range of cells on same or another sheet and given a defined name.

The list could be typed into the Source dialog as comma-delimited.

The DV dialog would be under DataData ValidationDataData Tools or somesuch
command.

You will have to find that dialog for yourself on the worksheet menubar.

Oh...Yes I'm sorry about that yes....The arrow is to the right, you click and
see the other names that can be clicked and selected...

Probably not that difficult if you know what type of dropdown it is which you
have so far neglected to specify.

When you select a cell does an Arrow appear at right side of the cell with the
list dropdown from there?

That would most likely be Data Validation list.

I cannot believe it's this difficult to simply remove names from a drop down
list...I'm dying over here...lol

I am not familiar with the commands in 2077 so will have to leave this for
someone else.

Or see Ron de Bruin's site for where to find the commands in 2007 menus.

It's a drop down that has several names in it and I still cannot seem to edit
the names to make this doc work. I also, cannot find the combo or control box
within excel 2007...Please help!

If DV dropdown list just select the cell then DataValidation

Look in the "Source" dialog for a range or range name.

If a Comboxbox from the Control Toolbox, open Control Toolbox and go into Design
Mode then right-clickPropertiesListFillRange
