How to change the font size on the sheet tabs
Date: October 30, 2006You cannot change the font size of the sheet-tabs in Excel. However you can adjust the settings in Windows to change this, but that will also affect other application.
In Windows XP (but similar in other Windows versions):
- Right-click on an empty spot on you desktop and choose "Properties".
- In the "Display Properties" dialog choose "Appearance" and then click on the "Advanced" button.
- In the "Advanced Appearance" dialog choose the item "Scrollbar" and adjust the size.
On my computer the default value is 17. If you increase that number the sheet-tabs in Excel will become larger. A lower number will show smaller sheet-tabs. Adjust the number to fit your needs. Depending on your settings, you may have to restart your computer to see the changes.
Example default size:
Example smaller size:
The benefit of the smaller size is that more information can be displayed at the same time.
