Default Data validation function and drop-down lists

I am sending this to several newsgroups, because I am not sure which one
is the most appropriate.

I am using the "Data Validation" function of Excel to create drop-down
lists. Is there any way to control the font size of the items in the
drop-down list without changing the zoom (view) function of the whole
spreadsheet?

Thank you.
Colleen

Hi Colleen

As Tom rightly says, there isn't.
However there are a few "tricks" to achieve this if you take a look at
Debra Dalgleish's site
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal08.html#Larger
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal08.html#Wider

or by adding a Combo Box to the sheet
