how do I change the icon size in Word 2007 toolbars
As a slightly disabled user, I have always been ble to change the size of the
icons on what I call toolbars in earlier versions of word. I cannot find how to do it in word 2007, and any search for a toolbar comes up with zero results. The standard screen is unusable without the aid of a magnifying glass, making the system impossible to use. I cannot imagine that Microsoft will have omitted such an important item for those with poor sight. Do I have to change to Open Office? |

To get bigger icons in Word 2007, you will have to change the screen
resolution. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Howard Walker 635" wrote in message ...

how do I change the icon size in Word 2007 toolbars
Howard,
With the exception of a single customizable Quick Access Toolbar (QAT), Word2007 doesn't use menu and toolbars like previous Word versions. It uses a Ribbon, Tab, Groups, and Controls. To make matters worse the QAT only displays "normal" sized controls and the out of the box selecton of icon choices is very limited. You can customize the Ribbon and add your own tab with "large" controls. See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm and http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Ribbon_Custom_Icons.htm Howard Walker 635 wrote: As a slightly disabled user, I have always been ble to change the size of the icons on what I call toolbars in earlier versions of word.

how do I change the icon size in Word 2007 toolbars
Windows accessibility options accessories come with a magnifier that follows
the cursor and enables magnification of icons in all applications, and is intended for those with a visual impairment. You'll find it in the accessories group of the start menu programs listings. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Howard Walker 635 wrote: As a slightly disabled user, I have always been ble to change the size of the icons on what I call toolbars in earlier versions of word.
