It depends on how much bigger you want them, and how complex they are. For a simple enlargement, up to about 15%, JW Change works. For much larger, you need to enlarge all of the elements: root, suffix, and alteration. And sometimes, you need to go into the Chord designer, and do some manual spacing (shudder.)

Thank you very much, motet and miker
The route is, then:
1 Document menu/ Document options/Chords
2 Scale all chords by 125% (in my case)

Also, remember this "trick" : another staff, hidden and resized, can contain the chords. The spacing will be correct.
Otherwise, you could customize your chord suffix library and save it to load it into new documents. It is some work, but later, things will be to your taste.
