In Excel 2010, I created an ActiveX combo box and formatted the text to the basic Arial font. After I select the value, the appearance of the font chanes to be almost unreadable. Any thoughts?

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
I have had a few cases where active X components changed size or position when used. Sometimes deleting the (apparently) corrupted control, saving, closing and reopening the file and creating a new control works. If that does not then I would add code to the on-click event to reset the font to the desired type/size.
