Is MS Office 2016 supported?

Post by jemi »

Hello,

I'm running Win7 guest on VB Version 5.2.8 r121009 (Qt5.6.3), on OSX 10.9.5 host.

Installed Office 2016, but there are some scaling issues (see screenshot).

Details:
1. HIDpi set in VB settings
2. 3D accel. is on in VB settings
3. In guest I have 200% scaling (through control panel in Win7)
4. No dual monitors (in VB settings)
5. Run Office 2016 in Win7 compatibility mode (on and off - no effect, still rendering issues)
6. Enabled/disabled HiDpi support in Access shortcut properties - no effect.

Any ideas how to fix?

Experimented a bit. If I check Disable hardware acceleration in Access options, rendering issues seem to stop. Is this a workable/stable solution?
