Increase Length of Name Box
I use Named Ranges quite a bit. The name box only shows 7
or 8 named ranges then I get a scroll bar. This scrolling makes it difficult when I have many named ranges in a workbook. My question is: Can I increase the length of the Name Box to the full screen so I don't need to scroll so much? Is this possible? Thanks for any assistance in the matter! Tim |

In MacXL, enter this in the VBE's Immediate Window:
CommandBars("Formula Bar").Controls("Name Box").Width = 600 For WinXL, see http://www.cpearson.com/excel/NameBox.htm In article , "Tim" wrote: I use Named Ranges quite a bit.

Hi Tim,
JE has provided you with suggestions for widening the name box, which is very useful if you deal with names which are too wide fully to display in the standard Excel name box. I am not aware of a corresponding method for increasing the number of names displayed in the dropdown name box. However, Jan Karel Pierterse's Name Manager add-in enables the simultaneous visible display of 16 names. As you "use Named Ranges quite a bit", I suspect that you would find the many nice features very useful. The add-in is freely downloadable at: .. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm --- Regards, Norman "Tim" wrote in message ... I use Named Ranges quite a bit.

Whoops, wrong direction. Thanks for the correction.
