Default Text in Data Validation drop down box too small. Is there any thi

As I saw in here already, there are people who said there is no way to change
the size of the text in the data validation text box. My Question is:

Does any third party make an add in or anything that would help in
formatting this text to a larger font size?

I use Excel Sheets in field applications with touch screen computers, but we
cannot use that small text with our finger tips in the field...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Maybe you could use a macro that changes the zoom?

Dave,

Thanks for the response...

I already saw that solution in here, but was not crazy about it...

I would imagine that by now, someone has surely come up with a better way to
do this...

Thanks again!
