Default How to Changing Dropdown text color in a Combo Box.

How do I change the text color for different items in a combo box.
Lets say I have 3 choices in the dropdown. Yes, Maybe No.
I want €œYes€ to be green and bold , €œMaybe€ to be grey and €œNo€ red.

Changing the cell range where the combo-box pulls from has no effect on the
display in the box itself.

Thanks.

I apoligize but I am not replying to answer your question but rather to ask
my own. I am trying to post a question but this system will not allow me to
do so. However, I can reply to previously posted questions. Can anyone help
me post a question directly? Thank you.

Joneser, if you're using Goggle, you'll need to view the Topic Summary page
(if there's a "Discussions" or "Back to Discussions" link, click on that
first). There should be a "new post" link on the right, not far from the
top of the page. Put the mouse over it and be sure you see a pointing hand,
then click. If you're using Operations Outlook, click on New Post. Any
help?

SA, I don't think you can set the text color of individual items in a combo
box. Someone else may have a different idea on this.
