    Why are some font sizes in apps so small?


    For example, in Excel 365 see below, I had to set the zoom to 160% just so I could read the contents of the cells. Worse yet, when I choose "Format Cells," the text is almost vanishingly small.

    • Hamburger icon on the top left

    • Then select settings

    • Click on options and check if you are able to find options for font settings
    You can try this short cut by pressing Ctrl button with scrolling your mouse to zoom the screen size.

  3. Font too small and re-sized Game Boards

    Hello Lauren,

    I understand that the font size is small in Microsoft Mahjong and Sudoku apps in Windows. We will help you.

    • Are you facing this issue specific to these apps or all the apps?
    • Are you facing the same issue while browsing on internet and working in any documents also?
    If you want to resize the texts and font size in Windows you may follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    Check resizing the text and icons by dragging the scale of resize options.

    • Press Windows + I keys, Select System.
    • Select Display. Select Advance Display setting.
    • Select Advance sizing to texts and other items.
    • Under Change size of other items, Select Set a custom scaling level (not recommended).
    • Set it to 100% and drag the Scale level to set the required size
      between 100% to 125%.
    • Select Apply. Sign out and sign in to the account and check.
    Keep us posted if the font size and icons issue is resolved. We are glad to help you.

  4. Why are some font sizes in apps so small?

    Font Size is very small

    Font size here and when I go into my email and my Library site, etc. are WAY TOO SMALL. Everything is fine until I go 'inside'.

    I tried one of the suggested fixes, but it didn't work. Help, I can hardly read it! I don't know which Outlook I have. The bar at the top where the close and minimize icons are is nice and big, but once I get into a page, wherever, it's really small. Thanks!
