Hi Paul,
Why do you want to increase their size? (I ask because the
ansewr could depend on what your true goal is) Are you
looking to increase the font size? do you just want them
all to be the *same* size? Do you want them to grow/shrink
in proportion to your panel/window?
In general it's not wise to hardwire the size/placement
of components containing text (because string/font changes
could cause the contents to be cropped) but I realize there
are always exceptions to such rules.
If you send a bit more info about the effect you are after
I'll see if I can help --
