 Do you wish that the buttons on your Excel toolbars were easier to see and use? The answer could be to turn on the large toolbar set that is available in Office. Here's how to do it.

 

If the toolbar buttons on your screen are too small for your liking, you may want to make them larger. Excel makes this easy—all you need to do is follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Customize option from the Tools menu. Excel displays the Customize dialog box.
  2. Display the Options tab. 
  3. Make sure the Large icons check box is selected.
  4. Click on the Close button.

You should have noticed that your toolbar buttons were much larger right after step 3. This action also affects the size of toolbar buttons in all your other Microsoft Office applications, as well.
