With the update to Office 2016 the Quick Access Toolbar icons were enlarged.

I used to have a filled Quick Access toolbar for Excel and now they do not fit defeating the purpose.

Is there any way to reduce the size of Quick Access Toolbar items?

    I'd be happy to send you a screen shot of the items on my Quick Access Toolbar.

    I use it all the time, as it allows me to keep the other ribbons minimised (I am English), giving me more usable screen space within Excel, and allowing me to use the backslash key and a character to access the feature I want.

    I have 46 items on my toolbar, including the icon for creating a pivot table, Tracing Precedents, and Dependents, as well as the basic File Open, File Save, Save as, Print range settings, Delete Sheet.

    Have you changed from Touch to Mouse .... it's the last icon on the QAT. It's not perfect but it's better.
