Default Changing the size of sheetname tabs

Related to this, is there a quick way to move a sheet when you have a
lot of sheets in a file?

I was working on a file yesterday where I have about 30 sheets, one for
each location, where I record electricity usage information. Every
quarter I produce a summary sheet from these 30 and I want to move the
previous quarter's sheet to be beyond the 30 site sheets (i.e. so that
it is in front of the summary sheet from 2 quarters ago etc). As the
sheet tabs contain the name of the location, I can only see about 5 or
6 of them on screen, so dragging the previous summary sheet to position
31 had to be done in several stages. Any tips on improving this?

No you can't!

BUT ... you can right click on the small directional arrows to the left of
the sheet tabs, and get an XL built-in table of contents.
This lists the first 15 tabs, and can be expanded into an infinitely
scrolling list, where a single click on any sheet name will put you
immediately into that sheet, much as a hyperlink.

Can the size of sheetname tabs be changed, so that if you have say 30
of them you don't have to scroll a country mile to find the correct
sheet?
