No reason to upgrade. Newer versions are no different.

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...

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.

I'm trying to enlarge the tab size on my worksheets so that they are easier
to read. I have highlighted them and changed the font size but nothing
changes. I am using office 2000. I'm wondering if upgrading microsoft office
would help. Thanks!
