How do i leave the arrow for the drop down list visible in Excel?
 
I have created many lists in Excel and the arrow for the list only appears
when i click on the list itself. How do make the arrow visible at all times,
so that others are aware that this is a list???

Hi,

No way I know of. Most people overcome this with some sort of cell shading
to indicate the presence of a list.

No way to do this.

Workaround is to color those cells so's they stand out.

Or use a ComboBox from the Control Toolbox or Forms Toolbar.

The Control Toolbox ComboBox would give more flexibility I believe.
