Is it possible to set the text-size and possibly other formatting of the actual values/formula input field in Apple iWork Numbers?
Comparing these two screenshots, it seems possible to set the size of the text to something larger.
Too small text-size for my taste:
Easier to read (screenshot originally posted here):
Although one cannot style individual characters in a formula, one feature of Apple Numbers is the canvas. One can take advantage of this by adding tables and text objects anywhere.
The above screen shot uses a static (as the OP's "Invoice terms" text is hard coded in their formula example, it is assumed static) text field placed next to the table (a single cell table with no border, in this case) containing the cell with the formula.
The OP's use of the CONCATENATE function is unneeded as the ampersands do the same job. To use CONCATENATE in this case:
=CONCATENATE(Terms,", please pay by...")
Where Terms is the reference to the cell containing the Terms text.
Detailed screenshot:
By using a number for the days, this can be used in a calculation against the Invoice date to determine the date payment is due. But that is a topic for another question. ;)
This functionality is embedded and its default behaviour. Of course if adding a row will be done using this option:

When I click in the formula entry bar I get an additional toolbar that has a "Formula Text Size" field. Does this appear on your screen?
Here's a screenshot from the Numbers '09 User's Guide:
I haven't found a way to make it larger than 14.Edit
I figured out how to make it larger than 14.
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers LSFormulaBarFontSize 80When you run Numbers again your formula bar is plenty big:
You can use a number smaller than 80 in the Terminal command for a more reasonably-sized formula bar.
