Tableau automatically adjusts the menu font size and the left side bar font size depending on the screen monitor. On my 22 inch monitor, tableau automatically adjusted the menu font and left side bar fonts to less than 4 pt. In the attached picture, the words "Tableau - Book1" on the top left is the normal size font for all my applications. You can see the menu fonts : File, Data, Worksheet, etc. and the Left side bar font: Dimensions, Measures, etc. are so small that the application is very hard to use. There is no such thing as "Option -> User preference" like other applications. How do I increase the menu and left side bar font size to make the application more usable?

    As mentioned in my original post, I am using a 22 inch external monitor. I will post another picture, with Excel on the left, and Tableau on the right. You can see that the Excel menu fonts are the normal size font displayed on the monitor, while the Tableau menu fonts are so much smaller that is much harder to read. This means that if I adjust the display on my monitor to accommodate the Tableau problem. Then in other applications using regular size fonts, the menus will become 3 times as big.
