[Solved] 4K Display Scaling/Blurry Screen Windows 10

Post by PotatoFace »

Here's the steps specific to Windows 10:

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program (or wherever yours is installed)

Right click on soffice.exe

Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: > Application > OK > Apply

This will automatically fix the blurry text/interface across all OpenOffice programs when using a 4K display (or anything above 1080p) :super:

This did the trick! I might add that you have to close and open OO for the fix to take effect. Thank you!

Thank you so much!! I purchased a new monitor Friday, and have been so frustrated with the view of the text. This completely solved the problem. I'm overjoyed!
