How to reduce the size of quick access toolbar icons? (Office 2016)

Yes, I encourage anyone impacted by this issue to use the User Voice sites to feedback. In this case, as Excel users:

I'd ask that you try to describe how you use the QAT, how the change has impacted your use of Excel. The more you tell us about what you are trying to get done (and how we are getting in your way) the greater the impact of your feedback.

I know that *every* engineering team in Office values this feedback, and takes it into consideration when planning work so it isn't just a back hole.

For what little good it will do, you can direct your complaints to these links

Suggestion Box / Feedback

MS has finally added web sites to allow users to make suggestions similar to the “smiley”/”sad” face buttons you may have seen in the pubic beta versions of Office.

These sites have options for the various versions of each application, ie Desktop vs Oneline vs Android vs Mac etc.

NOTE: when you post comments / suggestions it is best to limit each submission to one issue. That way replies can be specific to that error. And it makes it easier for MS to assign a submission to a specific development group or person.

The best place to make a complaint is probably MS Support. All contacts to support are supposed to be logged. These logs are used to generate some of those statistics MS is so fond of quoting.

RalphBergin,

How do you revert to office 2013?

EDIT: Figured it out.

I have the same issue with the spacing, and mapping shortcuts is not the answer. A also have a quick access toolbar that overflows now. It caused me so much frustration while building an Access database over the past 2 days, with the extra clicks, that I reverted back to Office 2013 on my desktop at work.  I've also decided against deploying it in our business. I spent a lot of time teaching our personnel in three cities how to customize Office 2013 and I can see the complaints already about 2016. I'll keep 2016 on my laptop, though, so I'll know if it becomes usable for non-touch machines.

BTW, the spacing has also been increased in things like the navigation pane in Outlook, so now I can see only about 1/2 of what I used to see at one time on the screen. Again, it now takes more clicks. Not good. I can't do anything about these changes in Office (except complain), but fortunately I control what our business (400+ employees) deploys, so 2016 will be staying off our computers.
