Excel 2016 Resolution/Size Issues

Question

When i open excel the resolution is fine (1920x1080 screens) and all of the menus are smaller and i can view a large portion of the active cells. 

However, when i open another excel file directly from my hard drive, the excel display gets huge and the menu bars and tabs are very large and limit the amount of the excel window i am able to see. This change also happens if i preview an excel document in myDocuments. 

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Office Community.

Let’s open Excel in application Safe Mode and check how it works.

To do that, press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

In the Run open box type in ‘excel /safe’ and hit ok.

Note: There is a space between excel and /.

If application safe mode works, try disabling the add-ins associated with Office applications and check.

To do that, do the following.

1. Open Word or Excel Click on File and then click on options.
2. In the Options Window click on Add-ins.
3. Select Com Add-ins in the Manage list in the Add-ins section and click Go. Now uncheck the all the add-ins and click Ok.

Hope it helps. Try the suggestions and let us know the result at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.
