Re: changing the width of the font drop-down menu box?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Open the toolbars customize dialog (View, Toolbars, Customize) and leave it
open. You're in toolbar customize mode. Click the font name control and
then hover over its right edge. When the mouse pointer changes to a bar
with two arrows you can drag the right edge to resize this control.
Similarly you can add, remove, reposition any controls you want in this mode
via drag and drop. Get new controls from the Commands tab of the Customize
dialog.

Any changes you make are saved in a file with an XLB extension when you exit
Excel (typically in C:\Documents and Settings\<your login name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel. You might back up this file in case your
customizations are ever accidentally changed.
