Changing the Text Size in Excel's Help

Excel 2000 and later use HTML Help to display help topics. If you find that the text size is too small (or too large), you can easily change it.

  • If you have a wheel mouse, press Ctl and spin the wheel to change the text size. Make sure that the text window, not the contents window, is active.
  • If you don't have a wheel mouse, activate Internet Explorer and use the View - Text Size command to change the size of the text. Close Excel help and re-open it and it will display the text size you specified.
