I have a list of prefered words for specific type work sheets, is there a way
to force a user to select from that list and only that list?
In my workbooks, each sheet will have a column (F) that will use up to 29
rows maximum.  When ever a user selects a cell in that column I want to force
them to select from a list of specific words to fill the cell.

It would be nice if we could edit our replies/posts.

Can the font size be changed? (not chaned)

DV dropdown list fonts cannot be changed.

There are workarounds.

See Debra's site
