When I pull down the validation drop down box, the text selections are too
small to read. I've tried changing the font size in the source, and in the
box itself, but it doesn't affect the size of the text inside the selection
box.

tmeloff, there is no way to do it from Excel, but have a look here for a
workaround

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

I only have excel 2000 - is there anyway I can make my text size larger?

This suggestion will work in xl2k.

Did you have trouble when you tried it?

I followed the instructions to use a combo box but I couldn't change the
combo box properties.

Maybe you did something wrong.

Show the Developer's tab
(You may have to turn it on under Office button|Excel Options)

You'll see an Insert Group.
Look for the Combobox and use that

(If that's the portion that you're asking about...)

I am having the same problem as Colin 'the view-toolbars-control
toolbox steps just dont exist and the command converter doesnt have this in
it :( .' The Control Toolbox does not give me the Design, Properties icons
to switch views.
