Font size too small

301 votes

The font size in Office Tools is really small and hard to read. I have trouble typing in my notes and memos with time entries since the font size is tiny. Any way to have the default size enlarged or is there a way to enlarge?

We need option to enlarge fonts. This is a large complaint from or staff.

Yes I agree. If you try and increase the size of the font on your computer, all of the information does not show in OTP. Very annoying.

Small font size is a complaint by everyone in our office.

I asked OT and they said it couldn't be done. Changing font size on the computer just distorts the words in OT. Getting a bigger monitor helped some.

If you want to keep any clients with eyes aged over 50 or so, this needs to be done.

You can enlarge font in Internet settings, but then most of the client 'file' gets pushed off the screen

A larger font size would be great - many of our staff have to do a copy and paste from the client notes tab to a word document or notepad just so they can read everything. Such a time-waster!

Tough to see, no contrast, if I change the monitor resolution Office Tools is the only program that can't handle it and become squashed.

Larger font size is desperately needed. My eyesight is great, but the font size in this program is WAY too small.

YES!!! Please enlarge the font size. As time goes by it will get harder and harder for us to work efficiently with this default font you have chosen.

WORKAROUND: Use the Windows Magnifier Tool:
Hold down the Windows Key on your keyboard and then also press either the “+” key or “ESC” key to turn this tool on/off.

• TURN ON THE MAGNIFIER: Windows key and Plus key (+) ……use the “+” key on your numbers keypad
• TURN OFF THE MAGNIFIER: Windows key and ESC
Here is a link to additional keyboard shortcuts for other Magnifier adjustments:

Wondering the status of making the font size larger? It is so difficult to see and during tax season this difficulty just adds to the stress in our office.

We all are still wondering when you'll make the font legible. My screens are large and it doesn't make the font any larger on the time input screen. it's ridiculously small!

I have tried this in the past, but now it works. On the desktop, right click and select screen resolution. Adjust the size down. Apply. I have attempted this many times in the past with poor results. This time I can see all of the name and data. I am so excited to be able to read and see without squinting. My neck will also feel better.

I have a 50" screen... why am I struggling to see the OTs selected client - top left corner?

Not being able to make the font size larger is a huge issue. Please let us know when this will be addressed.

I have really good eyesight. HOWEVER. The fact that your font size is literally Arial sizes 8 and 10 (and maybe one or two words in size 12)? I can't even imagine how people with eyesight that's getting a little bad or people with bad to worse eyesight feel. That seems like it would be a no brainer in functionality. How can people use your product if they can't even see it? During tax season this just makes things even more stressful.

The font size really needs to be bigger. At a minimum please adjust so that if system font is set to 125% it will work with this program.

Been with OTP for 9 years and have requested that font is too small and needs to be adjusted, also color has an effect on lettering be able to be seen better.

Fonts are way too small. Apparently there is no way to change the size.
