    Form Font Size Larger in Access 2016 than 2010

    We are researching updating our Access databases from Access 2010 to Access 2016. One of the first things I have noticed is that text on our forms is different in the newer version. Items that fit with no problem in Access 2010 are wrapping or partially cut off in 2016. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I cannot find any reports that MS increased the default font size and we have set the font size in most of our forms.

    Access 2016 Employee Form

    Any information would be appreciated. I am really hoping to avoid tweaking all of the forms currently used in our database.

    Thanks in advance.

    It looks like I solved my own issue. The default font of MS Sans Serif was used when this database was created in Access 2003 and that font is no longer a valid font.
