How to change the font size

Hello there. Let me help you in changing your font size. 

 

For now, there's no specific option to adjust the font size exclusively for QuickBooks.

If you are using a web browser to access QuickBooks Online, you can change the font size in your browser settings. Any changes you make will affect all websites in the same browser:

 

Google Chrome:

  • Click the Ellipsis (three dots) in the upper right corner.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Under Appearance, adjust the Font size and Page zoom settings.

Mozilla Firefox:

  • Click the Hamburger icon.
  • Choose Settings.
  • Update the font size as needed.

Microsoft Edge:

  • Click the Ellipsis in the upper-right corner.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Scroll down to Appearance.
  • Adjust the Font size according to your preference.


Another option is to use the Ctrl key and pressing the or - keys to adjust the font size. Alternatively, you can hold the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel up or down to achieve the same effect.

 

Furthermore, you can check this article to learn how to create personalized and professional-looking invoices, estimates, and sales receipts: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, please let me know if you're referring to a different font size. 

 

Feel free to reach out if you require additional help adjusting your font size or have any other QuickBooks-related inquiries. Stay safe.

How to change the font size

a new graphic card was installed on my computer. Now the fonts within quickbooks are so small I can hardly read them. I tried to follow some instructions I found, however, within the preferences, neither the DESKTOP VIEW nor GENERAL have an option for fonts.

Changing the font size in Windows has been addressed, but this did not affect the small fonts on the screen within Quickbooks.

Thank you. To be sure you understand, this is on my desktop only, we have three other users who have no small fonts. The file is on a server. If I do these steps, will it affect the others who work in QuickBooks. This seems like over kill. Isn't there a less drastic option?

How to change the font size

The steps above won't affect other users who work in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), pennees. We'll share more details about this below.

 

You're only changing the display and view preferences of QuickBooks on your computer. If you perform the above-stated resolution, you're only fixing the font size on your end, and won't impact other users.

 

If the display issue continues, you can continue troubleshooting starting Step 2 in this article: Fix screen issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, do you encounter matters with the performance of your QBDT? Your company file may be the root cause. If you wish to know the fixes, you can check out this article: Manage your data files to fix QuickBooks Desktop performance issues.

 

Keep us updated on this thread if you have additional questions about repairing the font size of QBDT. We can always lend a hand.
