Is it possible,when selecting an item from a combo box list, which is
linked to another sheet,to have the font color or style change,depending
on the selection?

If you go into design mode, and right click on that combobox (from the control
toolbox toolbar), you'll see a property called .forecolor. There's also a .font
property you can access.

You can change it with something like:

Option Explicit
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

Dim myColor As Long
Dim myBold As Boolean

With Me.ComboBox1
Select Case .ListIndex
Case Is = 0: myColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
myBold = False
Case Is = 1: myColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
myBold = True
Case Is = 2: myColor = RGB(0, 0, 255)
myBold = True
Case Else
myColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
myBold = False
End Select
.ForeColor = myColor
.Font.Bold = myBold
End With

End Sub

This does change the colors/font in the dropdown, too.

Dave I really appreciate your timely response. Only I don,t think I was
clear as to my problem. Is there any way to make the font style and/or
color change from item to item within the same list, in the same combo box.
If so please help. Again I thank you for your support.

Each option has a different font? Not within anything that's built into excel.

Sorry,
