    Have you tried a different browser? How about clearing cache and cookies and making sure your resolution is at 100%?

    What browser/version is it?

      I have tried with Chrome and Edge, same problem. Tried clearing cache, does not help, and resolution is at 100 %. E.g., Chrome version is  137.0.7151.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) (I have automatic update, so it should always be the latest one).

        Thanks for bringing this to our attention, MN12.

        Does this happen with all Office files?

        And does it happen only with existing files or when creating new documents as well?
