Quick Access Toolbar Office 2016 Icon Spacing too big

Hi, not getting anywhere with this.  Read through everything on that link and tried a few of the various items on the way down the page - not pleasant.  Finally go to this:

"If you upgraded to Office 2016 from Office 365 Personal, Office 365 Home, or Office 365 University, and you want help in reverting to the earlier version, contact Microsoft support by selecting Contact Answer Desk on the Microsoft support page, https://support.microsoft.com."

So you go to that page, go through a few prompts, and finally get to a complete dead end - it only talks about troubleshooting installations of 2016, not how to uninstall the horrible damn thing.  I just want to go back to Office 2013 without losing any of the customizations I had set up with it.  I think the solution will be to dig out a backup of my virtual window and go back to that - I'm just not sure what else I will lose in doing that.

Microsoft is not helping at all.  It can't be that difficult to program an optional "touch screen" toolbar, instead of force feeding, Apple style, the demented version they have now.

Try this one.

Unfortunately, this only works for 'click to run'.  I have an Office365 subscription.  I've been through the support and it says I have to contact support, but then there is apparently no easy way to do that?!?

I work primarily in PowerPoint so this is not the best place for me to be replying although the impact is across the Office family.

I went back and took a look at the way I had my QAT configured.  There were a few icons there that I use sparingly so I was willing to give those up. When I was finished with my review and remove I still had 3 icons that I needed access to.

What I decided to do, because it made sense for me, was to put these on a custom box in the ribbons that were subject to be alive when I was editing - Home, Animations, and Format.  I Set up a custom box on all three and added those icons to those. So now all icons i had in my QAT should be available on a quick pick when I am working.  I almost never minimize the ribbon anyway so this is an adequate work around for me.

Appreciate the platitudes, but my frustration is not the point - my ability to work efficiently in my way is the issue.  MS used to put a premium on providing choice and this is a backwards step.  No, I am not minimizing the ribbon - it does take up a lot of space and it did take some getting used to, but I now work effectively with a combination of the toolbar and the ribbon.  For example, on the toolbar, depending on which program I'm in, I'll have formatting, titles setting, window splitting and stuff that I use frequently where the visual cue on the toolbar makes it simple.  The ribbon will be on whatever part I am mainly involved with at the time - mostly on home, but I may be reviewing a document so have it on Review, and use the formatting on the toobar so I don't have to flick between ribbons.

So, long story short - I need both and if I can't have that with 2016 then I don't want 2016.  It does not offer enough advantages to make the death of the QAT worthwhile.

So I guess that leaves me with two questions:

1. Is there a Use Voice for Office in general, because this affects all of Office, not just Excel or Access?
2. How do I uninstall 2016 and go back to the future with 2013?
