Dropdown List
Excel 2002 Our Excel company timesheet has some dropdown list boxes that allow the user to select what text will appear in the associated cell (e.g. a short list of names of the person who will authorise the timesheet). The list is defined in the Source field of the List function in the Data Validation dialog box. The font size of the text in the cell is 18pt, but the size of the text in the drop-down list is so small, it cannot be read. Is there any way to increase the size of the text in the dropdown list? -- Mike -Please remove 'safetycatch' from email address before firing...

RMS allow adding reorder number at matrix item creation

Auto-Fit Text Box as Default

As it stands now, I have to go in and change it "per" document, but would like to have this always on for all my new docs Thank you H wood I don't know a way that you can do that.

Cell won't wrap all of the text in it
I have a merged cell set to wrap text. Vertical alignment is set to top (I've played around with this option). I tried doing Auto Fit for height and width, but it doesn't make a difference. The cell contains a large amount of text, and it wraps until the very end. Then it just continues on the same line, so I can't see it in the actual cell. I can see it in the formula bar. Also, if I increase the width greatly, more of the text appears. There is still plenty of room in the row height, but for some reason the text won't wrap down to the next line, no matter what I try. ...

How can I change positive numbers to negative, i.e. change 50 to -
I have a very long list of positive numbers that I have converted from a wordpad report. Actually it is our list of receivables. They have been converted from text, and therefore the ones that should be credits, or negative numbers (in context of receivables) appear as just plain positive numbers, such as 150.00. I don't know of a simpler way to turn these numbers to negative (i.e. -150.00) without F2'ing each one and putting a minus (-) sign in front of each one. It would save me so much time just to be able to change these numbers from positive to negative! If you could ...
