    Question [RESOLVED] Excel Dialog Box Font Too Small

    Hi, my issue is that my Excel dialog boxes all have small font, and I am trying to make it bigger. Do you have any advice? I have already tried increasing the Excel system text size, but this does not affect the dialog box size--by dialog box, I mean the additional boxes that open when we click the Home headings Clipboard, Font, Alignment, Number, etc. I have also tried increasing my computer system font sizes altogether, but this didn't affect the dialog boxes either. If it helps, I am using a Windows computer--Surface Pro 4, with a larger monitor connected, but the dialog box font on the monitor is also small. Thank you so much! Any help is appreciated.

    where is the system text size? located at? in the excel options? dialogs ARE part of excel, however they are built into it and have nothing to do with display-oriented text. the text that appears in that part of the interface were coded using C++ and other creation languages with regard to how excel was built.

    Thanks so much for your response! I actually just tried making my system display 250 percent ("Change the size of apps and text on main display") and restarted my laptop, and that seems to have made it better.
