How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?
If you use a drop down menu list with data validation, the menu is so small
you can't read it. How do you apply normal formatting to improve the situation (font size, bold, etc.) |

How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?
You cannot change the font size in a DV dropdown.
There are workarounds. See Debra Dalgleish's site for these. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal08.html#Larger Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 16 Sep 2006 07:30:02 -0700, Jester wrote: If you use a drop down menu list with data validation, the menu is so small you can't read it.

How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?
What type of dropdown is it?
If DV dropdown list just select the cell then DataValidation Look in the "Source" dialog for a range or range name. If a Comboxbox from the Control Toolbox, open Control Toolbox and go into Design Mode then right-clickPropertiesListFillRange Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:57:01 -0700, Sassy Sassy @discussions.microsoft.com wrote: I'm using 2007/excel and have a form that was used in excel 2003.

I am not familiar with the commands in 2077 so will have to leave this for
someone else. Or see Ron de Bruin's site for where to find the commands in 2007 menus. http://www.rondebruin.nl/0307commands.htm Gord On Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:35:18 -0700, Sassy wrote: It's a drop down that has several names in it and I still cannot seem to edit the names to make this doc work.

How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?
Probably not that difficult if you know what type of dropdown it is which you
have so far neglected to specify. When you select a cell does an Arrow appear at right side of the cell with the list dropdown from there? That would most likely be Data Validation list.

How do you format data that is part of a drop down menu?
Definitely a DV dropdown.
The list for that could be a range of cells on the sheet. A range of cells on same or another sheet and given a defined name. The list could be typed into the Source dialog as comma-delimited. The DV dialog would be under DataData ValidationDataData Tools or somesuch command. You will have to find that dialog for yourself on the worksheet menubar.
