Default Change default height/width of up/down arrow, heading, bottom bar

I was using Excel and couldn't get the bottom bar to display--to change to
another worksheet--so I somehow INCREASED THE HEIGHT of this bar. (I later
realized that my windows machine was acting up as I had put it in hibernate
mode.)

Anyway this changed the settings throughout my computer, including the width
of up/down arrows (I can no longer see a value larger than 1 digit as the bar
to the right is too large) and also default heading sizes from the
internet--making some of the systems that I subsribe to UNUSABLE! Please
please help me change this setting back. For example, the bar to the right
which I am using right now to scroll the text up and down is much WIDER than
it needs to be.

I am using Microsoft Excel 2000 and Windows XP professional.

Any suggestions--including knowing whether I need to reinstall
completely--are much appreciated. Thanks so much--jojo

To change the scroll bar, right click the desktop in windows, select
propertiesappearance, click advanced
there you should be able to see scrollbar from the dropdown, change that to
something less and use trial and error to
find what you want. 16 or 17 should be a good size
