Font size in Table Viewer

Thu, 09 Apr 2015 12:16:51 GMT

Hi all,

I have just started using QlikView and I'm having some trouble with the Table Viewer. It is currently showing everything in a really tiny format (size of tables, font etc) i.e. nothing is really legible from a normal distance. How can I amend this so that everything is legible and clear to see? Zoom is already set at 100%. I asked the trainer on the designer course but he was not aware of any other options that could help increase the size of the tables and font used in Table Viewer (not really helpful).

Any response would be most appreciated, preferably before I go blind from getting too close to the screen

ps. There are only a couple of tables available and these are right next to each other in table viewer.

Regards,

Armend

HI Armend,

I'm afraid that looks pretty normal to me! You can click and drag / move tables around the screen, but I believe the font size is fixed

Thanks both for your replies.

I have tried both internal and source view and the font size is equally small on both instances. I have played around with the resolution on my machine as well as display settings, thinking this might help but it has increased the font size everywhere else apart from the Table Viewer.

All my colleagues can view the tables in a normal size font, its only my machine that shows the font a lot smaller despite all the changes mentioned (and only in Table Viewer).

You should just adjust your zoom (drop-down menu) and it works very well.

Zoom is already at 100% it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks Shiva,

I have checked already and the system settings, as I said earlier, have increased the font everywhere else within QlikView apart from the Table Viewer. I am thinking of doing a fresh install to see if that rectifies the problem.

Thank you all for your time and help so far.
