Why do you need just the single letter?

Well, *I* print this on legal size paper and have plenty of room. However,
the vet wants +everything+ letter size so it fits her filing cabinet. I was
asked to shrink it without loss of data. Abbreviating a lot of this seemed
to be the best route to go.

I doubt that a validation list can do this - it really is just a way to
select values for the cell.
You can set up a list control that will show both of them but only store one
in its linked cell, but that cell is separate to where the list itself is.
Why do you need just the single letter?
