Default Font Size in Drop Down List

I have a drop down list where I want to change the Font Size. I have tried
changed it in the cells where the data resides and also in the cells where
you have the drop down list and neither way increase the Font Size. I am
sure it is something very simple that I am forgetting. Hope someone has the
answer.

Default Font Size in Drop Down List

Mindie

What type of drop-down list?

Data Validation? Font size cannot be changed although you can use Zoom to
make the whole sheet larger.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for workarounds.

Yes it is Data Validation. Problem is that I do not want to change the whole
sheet, just what is in the drop-down list.

Then you will have to go the Combo-box route.

Did you check out Debra's site?

I'll direct you to another of her pages which shows how to use a Combo-box.

Note:VBA coding required with this method.
