Solved Short Sighted

Hello Every one.
I have Windows 8 with a touch screen. My Office program is Windows 2007.
Now the old fella is getting on in years and the ribbons on these programs, mainly Outlook, Word, Excel are a fraction too small. Is it possible to enlarge these programs rather that just the font.

Be very grateful for help any one can give me. arram.

Oooohhh, it probably might be more difficult since it's Office 2007 (those were different times...) than it is with Office 2013.

You can try changing the Desktop DPI settings to 125%, that will make EVERYTHING on the Desktop at touch larger to make things, well, more touchable.
If you can, get a copy of Office 2013 (or 365) as that is BEST suited for touch. It has a touch/mouse setting where the UI targets of the Office programs will be bigger. It's almost like changing DPI settings within Office and leaving the rest of the Desktop UI intact.

Thanks for that looks as though I have to stay with what I have or upgrade 2013. arram

Hi there
Hold your horses

You can change the text size individual items -- here's a screenshot of the effect of changing the Menu text size which is what I think you want -- I've made an extreme case here but it should show clearly the effect. Works fine on Office 2007 too (use that in a VM) --here's the example though in using office 2010.
