Adjust the font in Data Validation dropdown box
When I add a DataValidation to my sheet, the elements in the dropdown are
small (I guess size 8). I would like to change this to something else like 10 however I can't seem to find the property. It seems that this control is different to the control toolbox dropdoen. Any ideas how to adjust the font properties of this control? How to I reference it? n.b. Am using Excel 2000 SP3. Bruce |

Adjust the font in Data Validation dropdown box
The OP said:
It seems that this control is different to the control toolbox dropdoen. Then a more appropriate initial answer might have been It can't be changed, but if you are not familiar with other controls (but you appear to be), then Debra Dalgleish has a work around at http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal08.html#Font using a control from the control toolbox and some event programming (double-click event). The main point is if a URL is pasted in response to a question, in my opinion, one doesn't expect to go there and see NO. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "JulieD" wrote in message ... however, Debra does give instructions on this page, on how to use a combo box over the data / validation drop down to provide a "workaround" to this problem ... -- Cheers JulieD check out www.hcts.net.au/tipsandtricks.htm ...well i'm working on it anyway "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
