Summary
Description
There are occasions where the font size in your Sage software appears small, or parts of a pop-up window go off screen. Display settings in Windows cause this, as your software doesn’t have its own display options.
Resolution
Before you start
Changing the screen resolution affects all programs on your computer. If you're not sure about which settings to use, contact your IT support.
Close your Sage software before changing any settings. Once complete, re-open your Sage software and check the appearance.
Before you change the screen resolution, check the table below to find the best resolution to use for the aspect ratio of your monitor.
