Dialog box font size

Hello, I'm getting old.  Is there a way to increase the font size for all the dialog boxes that pop up?  I know I can increase the size of teh box itself, but that does not increase teh size of the font and I have to lean in sometimes to read.  Any help would be great.  Thanks.

The text size appearing on dialog boxes can be changed by adjusting the text size in Windows.

 

Changing it can have unwanted effects on other items depending on personal preference.

 

It changes everything on desktop etc.

 

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\

Thank you.  This worked like you said and you are right, I do have to change around my desktop and other things, but it is easier to see the dialog boxes.  I wish Autodesk would have a setting to change teh font size on its own.

You can do a little more fine tuning and change the text size for certain windows functions such as active windows text etc.

 

This is done here:

 

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window color (along bottom of dialog in Win 7).

 

But, talk about rabbit holes! Smiley Surprised
