Through searches I am seeing that many people are asking how to shrink an
oversized drop-down from a data validation cell. What I want to do is to
GROW one. With help from the gurus here I now have a validation that has
both a code and a description in the drop-down, but when one entry is
selected only the code appears in the cell. It works wonderfully
.....except for the fact that my skinny column does not display even half of
the overall width of the drop-down. So what I am attempting to do is to rely
on the validation glitch and make my drop-down wider then it is intended to
be. It has happened to me before in another file, so I know it can and will
happen. I just can't reproduce it.
I have tried to merge cells above, below and on either side of the column of
cells but nothing. Has anyone here firured out the pattern?
Thanks,
