How do I change the font size in my drop down list when it is selected?

I have on average, 4-5 choices in the drop down, and the font is very small and hard to read.

Thanks for your help.

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
It depends on your drop down. if you're using in-cell data validation there's not really much option unless you change the zoom value.

I think the easiest way would be to use an ActiveX combo box and have code set up to change the font when it's selected, and then to change it back when a choice is made:

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_GotFocus()
ComboBox1.Font.Size = 18
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonCIick()
ComboBox1.Font.Size = 8
End Sub
Apparently the board censors the word "0nClick" so make sure to change that capital I to an L in DropButtonCIick.
