Hey guys,

I just updated on a trusted system from Office 2013 to Office 365.
What shall I say? Yeah there is a ******* difference between the software versions. Office 365 gives me significant eyestrain and Office 2013 not an this system.
Do you have any experience with that too?

I use Office 365 at work, it's fine with the hardware I have there. Surprising that 2013 was fine for you because that version forced greyscale AA. As an experiment, I would suggest turning off AA entirely in the control panel and seeing how it is after. Two places to search in the control panel, one is "Adjust Cleartype Text", uncheck the box. the other is "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows" and ensure that 'Smooth edges of screen fonts' is unchecked. Reboot and see how it is.

Don't forget that you are also able to change the fonts used by Outlook, etc. in the view settings, in two spots.. "Other Settings" where you can set stuff to say, 9 pt Tahoma, and "Conditional Formatting" where you can set a font for read, unread, etc. perhaps 11 pt Verdana.

    I see it too, for me its tolerable though, but much less comfortable than 2013/2016.

    Thans for your input, however with this options even "no eyestrain" apps look terrible and it is no easy working with smoothed fonts.
    I'll try out different fonts.

    I do see a difference between 2016 and 2019/O365, myself. I'm not loving the latest version.

      Harrison not yet. I only put it on one system, I'll probably uninstall and return to 2016. The difference between 2016 and 2019/365 is... 99% cosmetic.
