Hi,

Running Windows 11 Enterprise 64 bit and Microsoft 365 here at work.

There was apparently an update in the background today which has changed the appearance of my Office apps.

The autosave button has changed from white on all apps to the main colour of the app (green- Excel, blue- Word etc)
The part of the ribbon that contains the icons has now become rounded. I have noticed that with my Office 2021 that I run at home, so that isn't a problem.

The problem I am finding though, is that text in the Formula Bar looks like it has a space between every letter, but clearly isn't when you attempt to delete what appears to be the space. The font itself, although Calibri and size 10 in the data, it looks very simplistic in the formula bar.
The attached image doesn't do it justice, it does look very much more pronounced when viewed as a maximised window.
Strangely, any letter following a capital I looks as it did prior to the update.

Does anyone know if a setting has gone awry here and how to fix it, or is it something I need to change?
Thanks in advance.

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
The formula bar now uses a mono-spaced font like Courier & AFAIK cannot be changed.

Weird. I am running the same versions of Windows and Office here in the States, and it looks just fine for me.
Fluff, do you think it is just changed for European versions?

File - Options - Formulas, uncheck the 'use monospaced font for formulas' option?

That is weird - I do not see that even listed as an option for me under File/Options/Formulas:

It will depend on your build. If you don't have a monospace font for formulas, you won't have an option to turn it off. :)

Well, if I see it show up at some point down the road on my version, I will now know what to do!
