Default Data Validation List: Text Size Query

Dear all,

I have used data validation to restrict user inputs for a cell using: Data
validation, the list option and selecting "in-cell dropdown" menu.

However the worksheet has been zoomed to 60% and the list in the dropdown is
now unreadable.

Is there a way to increase the font of the dropdown list?


In appreciation,

Neil
