Default How to change the size of characters in Sheet 1, Sheet2, Sheet 3

The size of characters in the display of worksheets Sheet 1, Sheet2, Sheet 3
is too small.

How can I change the size of these characters?

Thank you in advance,

Mark

Depending on what it is you want to do you can either click VIEW in the menu,
select ZOOM and increase the display.

Or...

Select the text you want to change and click FORMAT in the menu, select
CELLS and click the FONT tab in the dialog box. Then increase the size of
the font to 12 points or larger and click OK to exit

Hope this helps.

I meant the size of characters used to display the worksheet number, or a
page, located at the bottom of every worksheet (page), such as Sheet 1, Sheet
2, Sheet 3.
As I use my own names to name the pages, I have hard time to read them, if
the characters are too small.

You cannot change the font of the tabs alone.

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.

Right-click on your Desktop and PropertiesAppearanceAdvanced

"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.
