Visual Accessability in Excel

Copper Contributor

Because of a recent eye problem, I have had to enlarge text more than halfway up the scale in Settings on my PC, and I enlarged everything else by 125% in Settings as well. It helps a lot except for drop-down menus and messages. In Excel I am wondering how I can enlarge and darken the font in the formula bar if that is even possible. Right now, I have resorted to using the magnifier, but it is a little cumbersome activating it then closing it down for every formula. Any suggestions for this visual issue in Excel or any other Microsoft program is welcome.
