Excel Ribbon Expanded.. How to make it default view?

Question

It used to be like this:

Somehow the items on my ribbon got more spread out.. anyone know how to fix this back into default view? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Add the Mouse/Touch Mode to your QAT. Select Mouse Mode.

Answer 2

I do not think this will take too many words. The following two ribbons are on the same computer, same workbook.

The difference is produced by the control the arrows point to.

If needed, that Mouse/Touch Mode control gets there by customizing the QAT.

Any questions?

Answer 3

Hi, I hope you're doing good today.

That's a great idea but unfortunately is not possible, sorry.

Answer 4

As of now, the functionality to set it to default is not available in Excel. If you feel that this should be a feature, you should report this to Microsoft so that Microsoft developers should look into this. There are 2 ways to give this feedback -

1. Open Excel > File > Feedback > Send a Suggestion
2. Through Uservoice - Click the following link to see the feedback of others and to provide feedback - https://excel.uservoice.com/
