Can someone tell me if there is a way to make the icons at the top of the toolbar like in Word 2003 a little bigger. I got my daughter a Dell 5150 laptop with XP pro. She says the icons etc in word athe the top of the toolbar are hard to see. The desktop icons and fonts are ok. The fonts are set to large. I can't seem to find anything in themes and appreances to make the change. I have to admit, the icons. Any ideas? Thanks in advanc

cheers

Themes won't help. Office is one of the most windows unfriendly programs you'll ever see. It uses as little as possible from Windows. It doesn't even use menus (what you see are office toolbars pretending to be a menu) like 99.9999999% of non office apps (the point 0000001 that don't use windows menus are those without any menus). It also doesn't use Windows toolbars.

R/c the toolbar and choose Customise - Options - Large Icons

Office do their own thing. As they aren't programs designed for Windows I try to use as little as possible.
 
The option to do that will be in Word 2003. Right click an empty area of
the toolbar and choose Customize then Options. It should be there.
