Procedure to make a dropdown list larger so it's easier to read

J

Jack Oziel

I have Excel 2003 and have a spreadsheet like a checkbook. To make a
distribution of the various types of expenses, I have account names. I
have created a dropdown list to make it easier to view my account llist.
When the list displays, it is so small it is difficult to read. Is there a
way to make the dropdown list larger for easier reading?

Hello Jack,

You can't change the size of the control through it's properties, bu
you can make the screen easier to read by using Zoom.

On the toolbar select....
VIEW
ZOOM

This display the Zoom dialog with preset values. It also has a box yo
can enter the Zoom you want.

Sincerely,
Leith Ros

I'm a bit curious.

Do you mean that the font size is too small to read, the number o
lines displayed in the list box is too few or the width of the list bo
is too narrow to display each list item fully?

The third can be done by widening the column or merging columns. Th
second is covered in the link to Debra Dalgleish's site - great site.
The first looks like a dead end
