How to change Excel Tabs Fonts in Windows 11
HansVogelaar Thanks for your reply. In Windows 10 it allowed you to change the scroll bar font size that I was led to believe would only affect Excel tabs, but I cannot find that option in Windows 11?
Changing the scroll bar size would affect many applications.
The relevant entries are still present in the Windows registry, in the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
ScrollHeight and ScrollWidth are always negative, and the number after the minus sign is the size in twips, where 1 inch = 1440 twips. The default value is -255. You could change this to -400 for example. You'll probably have to restart Windows.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself.

HansVogelaar, Thanks again for your Help and quick reply. Sounds too complicated for me to risk changing? I just changed monitors from 21" to 27" and in making the excel pages larger for me to see, the tabs remain small and difficult for me to read.
