small worksheet names

I have user that has his monitor resolution set high and
then goes in and adjusts the size of the cells to
accomodate what he is doing. When he does this, the size
of the worksheet names at the bottom are small. He asked
if there was something I could do for him and I said it
was pretty much because of the resolution. Any other
ideas?

Hi

The tab font size is a windows setting. In Win XP, go into control panel,
Display,Appearance and set the font to large or extra large.

Paul,

Ken's recommendation is probably what you need.
An alternative is to adjust the display settings...

Right-click the desktop
Select the settings tab
Click the Advanced button
Increase the DPI setting.

The size of the sheet tabs are governed by the setting for Scrollbars in
Windows Display Appearance. Mine are at 18. Start there and work your way
up or down. The font will increase or decrease with the size of sheet tabs.

Win98 as example...

Start Settings Control Panel Display Appearance(WinXP
AppearanceAdvanced)

"Item" drop down select Scrollbar

Change setting to Taste
Apply
OK

Depending upon your settings, you may have to re-boot to see the changes.

Also note: this is a Global change and will affect all Applications.
