Hello,
With
Microsoft Money Plus Home & Business, there is generally
no built-in setting inside the program to change the interface font size or recolor its screens. The practical workaround is to change
Windows display/accessibility settings, which will also affect Money. Microsoft guidance for this kind of legacy app points users to Windows
Text size /
Scale rather than an in-app Money setting.
What to do
1) Make the text bigger
- Open Start > Settings > Accessibility > Text size.
- Move the slider to the right.
- Click Apply.
This increases text size in Windows menus and many older applications.
2) Make the whole program bigger
If text is still too small:
- Open Start > Settings > System > Display.
- Under Scale, change it from 100% to 125% or 150%.
- Open Money again and test.
This enlarges text, buttons, and interface elements system-wide.
3) Improve colors/contrast
If the problem is not only size but also readability:
- Open Start > Settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes.
- Choose a theme.
- Click Apply.
Windows also supports
Color filters if contrast themes are too strong.
4) Use Magnifier for quick zoom
If you only need occasional enlargement:
- Press Windows + Plus (+) to open Magnifier.
- Press Windows + Esc to close it.
Important note
Because
Microsoft Money Plus is an old program, increasing Windows scaling can sometimes make it look a little blurry or oversized on modern high-DPI displays.
Best settings to try first
I suggest this order:
- Text size: increase slightly.
- If still too small, set Scale to 125%.
- If readability is still poor, try a Contrast theme.
