All Office application display the menus, ribbons, sidebars as way too large.
It is not an issue where going to Settings->Display->Scale & Layout, setting to 100% will fix it. I already have that set. I have also toggled the 'When using multiple displays options' several times within Office applications settings.
Everything else is just great with my display. All text within the viewing panes of Office applications is fine. For instance, in Outlook, the ribbon is huge, the sidebar is huge, I can only see about 4 emails at a time listed. However, where it displays a full email on the right, that text is just fine. If I lower the zoom level it gets too small to read. Also that zoom level does not affect the size of the ribbon or side bar. Same issue in Excel. Ribbon is huge, but the cells of the spreadsheet are normal size.
The file explorer menus and ribbon also display fine. All other non-office applications display fine.
It was working fine. I must have pressed some button inadvertently which increased the size of these items. Or maybe it was because I temporarily hooked my laptop up to a different monitor.

Yesss!!! You did it! My problem is finally fixed. None of the experts had any idea what was wrong but this easy fix worked right away. Such a relief
This did it!
Oh my goodness I cannot believe this worked! This issue started yesterday for me and I couldn't work out why or how to fix.
Thank you.
Shyamal, I too have the same issue, having the ribbon and general text size as too large on my Office 365 online applications. Making the workspace (actual typing area) small.
I have tried the Chrome browsers' settings for display settings and another for accessibility. settings for text and zoom sizes. I tried to make everything as small as possible in hope of resetting but that failed.
You asked another person here what version they were using. I am not sure of mine, please let me know what information you need from me and how to get it?.
Thank you.
Exact same issue and my IT group can't figure it out. Just hooked new laptop up to these monitors and same thing is happening. The ribbons in outlook, excel, etc. look HUGE. When I use a browser on those screens everything is normal. Can anyone help?!
