Mac Office 365 Blurred Text

[TartanTrumpet]

I've just acquired a 21.5 inch 2017 iMac running Monterey. Quite an upgrade from my previous 2009 iMac; however, a big issue is that on the new iMac the text on Office 365 apps is blurry. Not what I was expecting at all. What's going on and what's the fix?

Thank you

You can try to check wether changing the resolution in the System Preferences->Displays to “Scaled” or “Default for Display” (or viceversa) helps?

EDIT: and/or you can disable or adjust font smoothing to see wether it helps.

Thank you for the quick response. I tried that, but it did not solve the problem.

not sure about Office 365 - can you kindly check (if it is available):

Within Microsoft Word, go to File -> Options.
Within that window, select Advanced and then scroll down to 'Display.'
Scroll to the bottom of that section and uncheck the option for 'Use subpixel positioning to smooth fonts on-screen.'

Thanks once more. I looked, but it's not available.

I am using Office 2019, and there is no "Options" menu under the "File" menu.
What version of Office are you using? Mac? Windows?
