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?

    Hi Patrick,

    Do you have an update on this issue, please?

    I can see that the initial question was a couple of years ago, so apologies if my question is out of date.

    Kind regards,

    Ian

    It was worked on. They slightly reduced the icon size, but not all the way back to the original smaller size.  They are finished working on this issue.
