Default How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?

Read my reply to NUR for the answer.

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 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.

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
