Hi everyone,
I do hope this has not been posted before, but I have an issue with the QAT. I just got a new PC today and copied over my old "normal" template so I get all of my Quickparts etc but the QAT now only shows the icon. I've attached a screen snip of how it looks on my laptop (first snip) and a snip of how it looks on the PC (second snip). I've searched and searched for a way to get it back to how it was but no luck.

I hope someone can help. Its just easier to use it when I can see without having to hover over for the tool tip.



Many many thanks

This is a QAT option in recent versions (seeing the commands).
Try More Commands and check the option to show command labels.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reply. For some reason, on my desktop the show/hide command labels is not even there. I've checked my laptop and that has the option. Very odd and I'm really not sure what to do next.

Office 2013?
I do not think this was an option in that version.
Is your laptop also 2013 or is it 365?

Well I hope I did the right (had to search how to check lol). On the laptop, on my account in Word it says Microsoft 365 Apps for Business. I assume the PC says the same but I will check. I'm working off the laptop right now but I'll check asap and if it says anything different, I'll let you know.
Thank you Charles

Your profile here says Office 2013. If you are using 365 on both, please change it to 2021 (the forum has no setting for 365).

Sorry about that! I kind of took a guess at it. I'm using windows 10 as well so a double error has now been corrected.

My QAT is quite extensive and I was horrified when they came out with the labels. It expanded the QAT beyond usefulness for me.

It is possible to modify the tooltips and I often do.
