If the Ampler toolbar appears collapsed or cut off, set the Windows display scale to 100% — a high display scale can leave the ribbon without room to show every group.
Quick answer: Right-click the desktop, choose Display settings, and set the Scale to 100%; the Ampler toolbar then has room to show fully.
How to use it
Open Display settings and set the scale to 100%.
- Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
- Set the Scale to 100%.
At 100% scale the ribbon has room to display every Ampler group instead of collapsing them.
Why use it
Windows display scaling above 100% enlarges everything on screen, which can leave the PowerPoint ribbon without enough width to show all of Ampler’s groups — so the toolbar looks collapsed or cut off. Setting the scale to 100% gives the ribbon the room it needs.
Tips & best practices
- If 100% makes text too small, try a lower scale (such as 125%) and check whether the toolbar still fits.
- Restart PowerPoint after changing the scale so the ribbon redraws.
- On multiple monitors, set the scale on the display you use PowerPoint on.

Do you need to restart PowerPoint after changing the scale?
