'developer reference' help window font size...

[pm_sam]

hi all...

I have excel 2007 and changed my screen
resolution to (bigger) to view the help files.

unfortunately with the ‘search scope’ set
to ‘developer reference’ the font is tiny
but with the other ‘search scopes’ the font
size is bigger than before.

I have changed the ‘font size’ button in the
help window to ‘largest’ but the font is still
small.

all help greatly appreciated and I thank all
of you so much for your time and advice in
advance.

many many thanks.

Paul.

If I search for developer reference and set thefont to largest I get something like this:

What do you get?

hi Andrew...

thanks for a very speedy response...

yes I get the same thing.

...but when you change the ‘search scope’
to ‘developer reference’ located at the top
just below the title bar of the help window.

the font is really small for ‘developer reference’.

all help much appreciated and I look forward
to your advice.

many many thanks.

Paul.

hi all again...

I've noticed that if I right click the help
file window.

there is a shortcut menu with a menu command
that says 'view source'.

can I use this to change the font size for 'developer
reference' as the 'search scope'.

all help and advice valued and respected.

much thanks.

Paul.
