Icons in toolbars too large in WinXPPro.

[StargateFan]

I thought this was an XP issue; the XP folks advised to talk with
Office people ... <g> Hope this is actually the right spot for this.


My uncle is in the learning stages with his laptop. He inadvertently
tried installing a version of WinXP Office that he was given from his
old job when he left (he'll be doing consultant work for them in
future) on top of the Office 2000 he already has. So when I was
visiting last weekend for Xmas, I managed to fix the situation. MS
installer corrupted but was able to find fix on MS KB and could then
delete both offices and re-install Office 2000 (it's the version I
know).

However, ever since then, all the icons on all the toolbars in the
office suite are about twice their normal size and quite pixelated.
They're ugly, and take up more space because of their large size.
These weren't like this when he recvd laptop from company and it
happened after the re-install so was wondering how to fix? Can anyone
help? I have Win98SE at home and Win2K at office so am not very
familiar yet with XP Pro.

Thanks. D

That easy? Okay, when I'm next visiting my uncle, will see if that
does the trick <g>.

Thanks! D
