How can I change the font size on an Excel sheet tab?

The font size in me Excel worksheets is too large and I cannot find an answer
in either help or the knowledge base as to how to change it.

That's your Windows Desktop settings.

Think the worksheet tab is governed by the size in the scrollbar setting

Say, in Windows XP:
Right-click at any empty spot in desktop > Properties
In Display Properties dialog, choose Appearance tab
Click "Advanced" button
In the Advanced Appearance dialog
Click the "Item" droplist > choose 'Scrollbar"
Set size lower* to say: 16 > OK > Apply

*as it seems too large? as per your orig. post
