How do I change the format in a excel drop box?
 

I have used a list in a validation drop box, but the text size when veiwing
the list is very small. How do I increase the text size in the drop box? Once
a item is selected off the list it is shown in the validation cell as per the
cell format. I have tried to change the format in the list, but this doesn't
change the viewed size of the validation cell drop box.

I had the same problem in a workbook that I created for multiple users.
Someone had increased the font size of the workbook to 22 and the zooom in
view was 55%. This caused the font in the drop down list to be barely
visible. I fixed it by reducing the font size on the entire workbook to a
reasonable size (12) and setting the zoom back to 100% - Which in my opinion
is normal for viewing size.
Viola!!! The drop down list is back to normal - users really have a way of
messing up our fine excel creations.

I hope that someone might try this method first before tackling the problem
with VB.

Good Luck
