Change Character Size in MS MONEY Version 17

HI:
I have managed to install MS MONEY vers 17 on new Win11 desktop and import my MS Money 2003 Deluxe file; it is running OKay for about 1 week now.

Is there any way to increase the font size in vers 17: It looks to be about 6 pt to my eyes, which would do much better at 12pt or 14pt. Clearly, (no pun intended) vers 17's font size is significantly smaller than that which MS Money 2003 uses.

TNX.

One thing to try, click in the middle of the Money window, hold down the Ctrl key and press the + or hold down the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel, either should increase the readable size. Sometimes helps to Maximize the windows [middle icon upper right corner] or use Full Screen [different from Maximize]. Use F11 to get Full Screen which removes some of the Toolbars for more room of the program, press Esc or F11 again to get Normal.

Your suggestion works here at win11 forums with my Chrome browser, but does not work within MSMNY ver17. I'll use your method here while accessing this forum; TNX.

I remember back in the day when I used the older versions of Quicken. When I switched from an old 1024x768 CRT monitor to a flat screen I had the same problem with fonts being too small. I discovered that the font size was hardcoded into the app so I couldn't change it in the app settings, as I suspect is the same with MS Money. When I used that old version of Quicken I had to change my display resolution for my bad eyes to work with it. Play around with different resolution settings to see if it makes a difference in the Money app. Keep in mind doing so will change font size everywhere so change it back when you move to doing something else rather than using Money.

Font sizes viewed with web apps can easily be changed from within the browser settings. Click the 3 dots in upper right corner of browser and bump up the zoom settings.

You are stuck with the software design of MS Money. Try changing the dpi settings in the compatibility tab for the msmoney,exe file. What resolution monitor are you using?
