I was wondering if it was possible to be able to bold and italicize a name from a drop down box. I have a list of names on worksheet 3 that will get longer and shorter. I’ve named the range, Pro. Named Range =OFFSET(Pro!$G$1,0,0,COUNTA(Pro!$G:$G)).
On worksheet 4 I have a grid with drop down boxes. What I would like to happen is if I select a name from worksheet 3 on worksheet 4, it will bold and italicize. This grid will be from A20 to approximately BB70. I will also be using this code below on worksheet 4. I’m using Excel 2003 so I’m not able to use a lot of the new features. Thank you for any help as I’ve been scouring the pages for what I thought would work but..well thanks for any help.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Cell As Range
Dim Rng1 As Range

 On Error Resume Next
    Set Rng1 = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 1)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
        Set Rng1 = Range(Target.Address)
    Else
        Set Rng1 = Union(Range(Target.Address), Rng1)
    End If
    For Each Cell In Rng1
        
        If Cell.Value = vbNullString Then
            Cell.Resize(, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
            Cell.Resize(, 2).Font.Bold = False
        ElseIf UCase(Cell.Value) Like UCase(Sheet5.Range("K2") & "*") Then
            Cell.Resize(, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        ElseIf UCase(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value) Like UCase(Sheet5.Range("K2") & "*") Then
            Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        ElseIf UCase(Cell.Value) Like UCase(Sheet5.Range("K3") & "*") Then
            Cell.Resize(, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
        ElseIf UCase(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value) Like UCase(Sheet5.Range("K3") & "*") Then
            Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
        Else
            Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
            Cell.Font.Bold = False
        End If
    Next
End Sub
