size of tab font in XL 2007
This is a weird question, but all of the sudden, in XL 2007, the font size of
the tab names has gone to about 5. Anyone know of a setting that changes the font size of the tab name? And if so, how to set it to a more reasonable size? -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem. |

size of tab font in XL 2007
Hi Dave,
Here's a rather ridiculous solution: The font size for tabs seems to be based on the scrollbar size in the OS. So, in XP for instance, if you go to the Appearance section of Display Properties, click on the Advanced button, then select the scrollbar and increase its size, you will also increase the size of the tabs in XL2007. Unfortunately, this will increase the size of all of your scrollbars.

size of tab font in XL 2007
Wow, that's a new one for me, thanks. I never noticed the size of my scroll
bars before. Does this apply to earlier versions of office? Or just office 2007? Thanks.

size of tab font in XL 2007
Hi
I don't think this is an XL2007 feature. That has been the only method of increasing tab size in all previous versions of Excel as far as I am aware. -- Regards Roger Govier "DougieVan" wrote in message ...

size of tab font in XL 2007
I used to be "customization happy." That is, whenever I installed Windows, I
would see how may non-essential things I could customize--like ridiculously large scrollbars, Start menu hanging from the ceiling, etc. Nowadays I just keep it as it comes, but I jump at the chance to go into the advanced appearance settings when warranted. -- Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen Office System Solutions Specialist 3Sharp http://blogs.3sharp.com/Blog/dougv/ "Dave F" wrote: Wow, that's a new one for me, thanks.
