Hi:
I am trying to increase the size of text in the VBE code window thru the options menu, but nothing happens . Any suggestions, please?
Tony.

Thanks YasserKhalil for your reply. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I am already doing - and it has no effect on the code window.

Try to reset the VBE settings using the registry in windows.

To expand on YasserKhalil's reply:
Quit all Office applications.
Click the Start button in Windows, type regedit and press Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VBA\7.1\Common.
In the right-hand pane, delete the entries FontCharset, FontFace and FontHeight.
They should automatically be recreated next time you start the Visual Basic Editor.

Re: Increase text size in the VBE code window
Fortunately, I spotted:
"Can't change vba project font size"
by Jeff H » 31 Oct 2017, 20:2
further down the topics list, and followed that advice from HansV:
Windows, in Start > Settings > System > Scale & layout > Change size of text
It was set to 300%, I changed it to the recommended 200%, which worked fine for the problem of setting the VBE code font size to 12pt. Unfortunately, with the current laptop display setting of 3000 x 2000 (recommended), everything was far too small, but changing it to 1920 x 1280 did the job.
Old eyes!
