    Expanding the size of the in-cell dropdown list

    Is there a way to expand (or shrink) the in-cell dropdown when using data validation. Right now, the dropdown list is only showing 8 items in the dropdown list. I want to expand the size to show all entries, which is 20. Thanks in advance for any comments.

    The font size and list length are fixed.
    See Debra's page for a work around using activex control

    If the cells on either side are free you can merge them to make a wider cell. The dropdown info will display across the merged cells.

    If you press ctrl + F3 you can define the area by changing the selection.
