Default Sheet tabs

Shane

You can change the size of the tabs.

This is a function of your Windows Display Properties.

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...

Right-click on desktop and select Appearance tab

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.

I am using Excel 2003 on an XP home SP2 PC. The sheet tabs on all my spread
sheets, existing ones and new ones have become very small, including the
text on them, I would say about font size 6 or 7.
The text on the sheet it's self is fine, I have the zoom set to 100% and no
matter how I change the text size or zoom the sheet tabs stay small.
I am not aware of anything I have done to bring this sudden change on.
Does anyone know how I can get them back to normal.
I have attached a JPG to show.

Thanks
