   I'm 65¾, and even my short-focus eye can't focus at much less than a   
   foot without help these days!   
      
   I just opened word 2003 (in my windows 10), and the menus are the same   
   size as in Thunderbird, Edge, File Manager, Everything, ... - basically,   
   they're not smaller than in anything else.   
      
   I do tend to use 12 point text in documents these days rather than the   
   10 point which I think was the default in 2003 or maybe earlier, but I   
   think that's becoming common across all word processors nowadays, with   
   an ageing population and more people inclined to invoke legislation.
