Can't adjust font size for some Windows dialog boxes

Having moved to widescreen, I increased my resolution to 1440x900.
Under appearances>advanced, I increased all the font sizes that were
adjustable.

But there is one font which did not adjust its size. I don't know the
Windows official name for this dialog box, but it appears under all
applications, so I'll use a couple of examples.

In Word, when I make a change and exit, the dialog box which asks if I
want to save the file has the old, tiny, font.

In the Printers folder, when I choose one of my printers and click for
properties, much of the display has the tiny font (the words
'location,' 'comment,' 'model,' and all text in the 'features' box).

If anyone knows how to adjust this font size, my 55 year old eyes will
appreciate it greatly (otherwise I'll have to reduce the resolution,
of course not recommended for an LCD display).

Another example is text entered in the Google search box.
