Autofilter - can I increase the drop down font

's Computer Specifications

Is it possible to increase the size of the font when using autofiltering
dropdowns in Excel?

Maybe just changing the zoom would be sufficient????

I wish to keep the columns at a fixed visible width Dave. It will make my
task much easier for the non-specialist with PC's and certainly with Excel.

I actually meant the zoom icon on the standard toolbar (or View|Zoom from the
menubar).

Ahhh.

But even if you change the zoom, you can't see all the text.

I don't think that there's a way.

The font used by Excel in the drop-downs is a system font and only
scalable as a function of zoom (As has been suggested elsewhere) The
only way to enlarge this font is with the Zoom facility - furthermore
you can't change the colour etc etc. Pain in the ass, but there you
are.

At least someone could answer this one. Shame that Microsoft could not.
