List Box/Combo Box Help

Feb 28th, 2002, 06:50 AM

Is there a way to change the size and font of the items in a list or combo box? I cannot find anywhere to do this. Thanks in advance.

You need to use listboxes and comboboxes from the controls toolbox, and not the forms toolbox. The ActiveX controls of the controls toolbox have more flexibility with all their properties, including fonts.

The process is the same wether you use Forms or Controls to create the box.

If it is a control you've created on the spreadsheet, go into design mode by clicking the icon that looks like a pencil drawing along the side of a drafting triangle. Right click on the list or combo box and select Properties on the menu. Find font on the window list that pops up and click on the font name in the column on the right and you can change properties.

If it is a box you created in a VBA user form, open the form in the VBA editor and select the box. Find font in the properties window etc.
