My toolbar icons are fuzzy, how do I make them sharp?
How do I make the icons sharp, not fuzzy?

D,
It sounds as if you have a relatively large monitor with a relatively low resolution setting (large image). The buttons are 16 x 16 pixels, and aren't meant to be large. In their normal size of a quarter inch or so, this is quite adequate. If you want to change your monitor resolution, go to Control Panel - Display - Settings. This will change the size of the contents of all windows in all applications. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "DSchulz5" wrote in message ...

What version of excel are you using?
What version of windows are you using? If you're using xl2003 and winXP, maybe you could try a playing with a windows setting. Windows Start button|Settings|control panel|Display (Using the classic menus) Appearance tab Windows and buttons dropdown: Windows Classic Style This is a windows setting, though. (I used this for a few hours after upgrading to both xl2003 and WinXP, but reverted back to the winXP style. It kind of grows on you, er, me.)

True, True. Excell (word, etc) didn't fall under that. I'd hoped there was a
"classic" style for Office like there is for windowsXP. I guess it's just the way it is, all 21st century. My eyesight is going and I don't need help. Why someone designed fuzzy icons on purpose is beyond me. Thanks for trying though.

Office 2003, upgraded from 95?. Windows XP.
I was hoping there was a "classic" view for Oddice like there is for Windows. Why anyone would design fuzzy icons on purpose is beyond me, I have a hard enough time seeing without putting things out of focus on purpose! Windows did window, it didn't affect Office. Thanks for your help though. Dave "Dave Peterson" wrote: What version of excel are you using? What version of windows are you using?

When I did this, it affected all of my applications. In fact, the toolbars for
Excel looked very close to black and white. (Well, a lot of the color was removed.) DSchulz5 wrote: Office 2003, upgraded from 95?. Windows XP.
