I want to set up a drop down list to let me hit the first letter of the
phrase or choice I want and it automatically scrolls to it instead of me
having to manually scroll. How do I do that?

Data Validation dropdowns won't autocomplete.

Use a combobox for the dropdown

See Debra Dalgleish's site for method and code.
