Form Report Font Size Change
Travis Hagen 
     
3 years ago
I reinstalled windows 11 and noticed a change in font size in some but not all of the forms and reports labels. Font is bigger than it used to be and I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere to change it back or if I just need to resize things again.  Also when I add to the Quick Access Toolbar it adds an icon though doesn't add the name of macro like it did before.  Thanks.

Sounds like 2 different issues. Is the font size change only affecting access? If not, it could be your graphics driver. Have you tried the database on any other computers?

Just in access and just some of the font though enough to mess up my invoices and estimates, etc.  It's weird. I tried reinstalling windows again last night to see if maybe that would do it. It didn't.  I'll try another computer later today.  Thanks for the reply.

There shouldn't be a reason why fonts would appear different on different computers. Have you got scaling active at all in windows display settings? I'm clutching at straws here but the bottom line is, to the best of my limited knowledge, nothing in Access should cause your font to change size unexpectedly unless you have some naughty code maybe. Sorry I can't help further but testing on other computers should help narrow it down.

As for your QAT, I asked Chat GPT:

ME : In microsoft office, how do I display name next to icons on the Quick Access Toolbar?

CGPT : To display the name next to icons on the Quick Access Toolbar in Microsoft Office, please follow these steps:

    Open the Microsoft Office application, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
    Right-click on the Quick Access Toolbar, which is located above the ribbon.
    In the context menu, select "Show Quick Access Toolbar Below the Ribbon" if it is not already selected.
    The Quick Access Toolbar should now be displayed below the ribbon.
    Right-click on the Quick Access Toolbar again and select "Show Quick Access Toolbar Labels" from the context menu.
    The names of the icons on the Quick Access Toolbar should now be displayed below the icons.

Alternatively, you can also click on the down arrow on the Quick Access Toolbar, select "More Commands", and then check the "Show Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon" and "Show Quick Access Toolbar labels" options.

I noticed the option to add labels didn't appear so i went back to CGPT:

ME : I was able to move the Quick Access Toolbar below the ribbon but I don't have an option to "Show Quick Access Toolbar Labels" in the context menu

CGPT : I apologize for the confusion. The option to "Show Quick Access Toolbar Labels" may not be available in all versions of Microsoft Office. However, there is another way to display the names of the icons on the Quick Access Toolbar:

    Right-click on the icon that you want to display the name for on the Quick Access Toolbar.
    In the context menu, hover over "Add to Quick Access Toolbar".
    The name of the command should appear next to the icon.
    Repeat this process for each icon that you want to display the name for.

This method will display the names of the commands that you have added to the Quick Access Toolbar. I hope this helps!

ME : Nope. It adds to the quick access toolbar but no labels. I am using Microsoft Access as part of an office 365 subscription

CGPT : I apologize for the confusion and thank you for letting me know that you are using Microsoft Access as part of an Office 365 subscription.

Unfortunately, it seems that the option to display labels on the Quick Access Toolbar is not currently available in Access 2016 or Access in Office 365. However, you can try the following workaround to display the names of the commands on the Quick Access Toolbar:

    Right-click on the Quick Access Toolbar and select "Customize the Ribbon".
    In the "Customize the Ribbon" dialog box, click on "Quick Access Toolbar" on the left side.
    In the "Choose commands from" drop-down menu, select "All Commands".
    Scroll down the list of commands and select the command that you want to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
    Click the "Add >>" button to add the command to the Quick Access Toolbar.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each command that you want to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
    Click the "OK" button to close the "Customize the Ribbon" dialog box.

This method will display the names of the commands that you have added to the Quick Access Toolbar. I hope this helps!

Thanks Dan.  I took my file to a different computer and it was back to the original layout, my invoices and estimates were back to normal.  I did mess with with some of the display settings after I noticed issues and put them back after it didn't work.

I got it!!  I uninstalled and reinstalled office. Now all is well.  I had previously done a factory reset on the computer twice in a row and then updated windows and office repeatedly until I knew it was updated. Apparently that wasn't enough.  I appreciate your attention in the matter.  I was really not looking forward to resizing everything. Thanks again.
