Excel 2007 : Data Validation Input Message Box

Hello,
I have been working with a Data validation input message box and it does not display my text correctly.
for example what should be displayed all on one line goes to two lines.

Is there a way to make the input message box bigger or a way to display my text all on one line.

Here is a example of my text:
12345 - Apples
4567 - Oranges
12348 - Pears

when i type the input message text it displays like this:
1234-
Apples
It jumps down a line instead of staying on one line

Thanks for the help

can you post a sample of your validation as when I put message in it is all on one line

Attached is a copy of what my message box looks like, I would like for each item to be all on its own line.


thanks for the help

any ideas why my input message box wont let each line text stay on the same line.

the message box only allows a certain number of Characters per line but if you right click on your cell and INSERT COMMENT you can stretch the box and put it all on one line

anyway to hide the red tick mark on the corner of the cell, when inserting a comment?

thanks
