How can I change the text size in my Sage software

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

This guide explains why the font size in your Sage 50cloud Accounts or Sage 50cloud Payroll may appear too large or small.

Description

There may be occasions where the font size in your Sage software appears small, or parts of a pop-up window go off screen. This is caused by your display settings in Windows, as your software doesn’t have its own display options.

Resolution

Before you start

You should be aware that 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 each of the steps below. Once complete, re-open your Sage software and check the appearance.

Before you change the screen resolution, you can check the table below to find the best resolution to use for the aspect ratio of your monitor.
