Autocad 2010 Ribbon

[rmk]

Is there a way to make the tabs and panels on the ribbon with larger text and spread apart more. i am having trouble seeing them in such small print. also, is there a way to center them or move them to right side of the screen.

Right-click the top menu bar (starts with "Home"), pick Undock and drag it into position.

What i was trying to say was, leave the menu bar where it is, just make the text and or spacing bigger. i am 50+ and my vision isn't what it used to be. i need the text and icons larger and easier to see. i do a lot of keyboarding, but sometimes the icons are handy. any help for the older folks would be appreciated.

Ah, right.
If you want to affect everything, you can do it in Windows itself.
Right-click the desktop and select the Appearance tab. Change "Font size".

I would still like to know if there actually is a way to center the ribbon without undocking it? I have customized my own Ribbon Tab and it doesn't fill up the whole ribbon (as I have a 17" widescreen monitor) so I would like to shift all the panels over to center them since most of my drawing is done in the center of the screen. It seems it would be more efficient to me but I doubt there's a way to do this.

Tell me about it... I work with dual 20" Widescreen Monitors!

My desired button can be +/-30" *over there... keep going... on the left*. I too would love it if there was a way to center interface components, like the ribbon, toolbars, etc., without them being shoved back to the left side regardless of your saved workspace placement.
