Icon Size in Word

Question

I posted this in the Office Discussion Group at Microsoft.com, but after three days there were no replies. So I'm hoping that this much more reliable forum will be of help. I have recently installed Office 2004 for Mac. When a new blank Word document is brought up, the icons in the toolbar are VERY small (cut, copy, paste, print, etc, etc) . Is there a way to choose "Large Icons"? When I was using Word 2002 on the XP side of my Parallels-equipped iMac there was a provision for large icons under toolbar customization. But I don't see that in Office 2004. Can someone help me?

There is no way to change the size of the toolbar icons in Office 2004 or 2008. However the buttons you have listed all have drop dead easy keyboard shortcuts and they are system wide. Cut ⌘-X, Copy ⌘-C, Paste ⌘-V, and Print ⌘-P. Learning those basic keyboard shortcuts will greatly reduce your dependence on the toolbar and increase your overall productivity since you can use those keyboard shortcuts system wide.

Microsoft is notorious for providing non-standard and highly confusing user interface elements. The mac, for the most part, has a very consistent user interface making it much easier to learn.
