New Office Update to address some of the scaling issues with Skype for Business 2016 and PowerPoint 2016

Hi Everyone,

This is Kim Johnson from the Windows 10 client supportability team.  I wanted to share some exciting news around some new updates for display scaling issues in Skype for Business 2016 and PowerPoint 2016.  In previous blogs we discussed some of the issues encountered with display scaling on high dpi devices:

· Display Scaling changes for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

· Display Scaling in Windows 10

We also have a KB article that discusses these issues:  Windows scaling issues for high-DPI devices

The Office team has released updates to address some of these scaling issues with Skype for Business 2016 and PowerPoint 2016.  Please take a look at the following support article which tells you prerequisites and how to get the update:

· Office apps appear the wrong size or blurry on external monitors

    Hi David - The Office updates should all be released and available and the should address scaling for PowerPoint. If you are still seeing issues with PowerPoint on an external monitor after applying the Office updates - can you check the Feedback hub to see if the issue is listed there . If not please add ne feedback. We definitely want to know if there are any remaining problems. Please give exact repro steps when adding feedback - PowerPoint seems to scale great for me in general, but I may not be triggering the issue.
