Enlarging Attributes Dialog Box

I am using Timeslips 2013 and am adding client names to a custom field (Client Billing Party). When I go to Setup, Custom Fields & click on the Billing Party/List, a "List Type Custom Field Attributes" box appears.  I am only able to view about half of the client names already set up, and only half of the options to use (New, Insert, Rename, Delete, Delete All are all that appear).  I am able to move the cursor to the names below the last one I can see, but then the cursor disappears and the names do not appear.  There is no way to enlarge the menu box so I can do anything with the names that I can't see or use any of the other options (move, etc.)  Is there a way to do that or to get to those names to make changes?  Thanks.

    I suspect you have a nice bit flat screen monitor that likes to display at a high DPI (dots per inch) setting by default.

    This can lead to small screen content, so folks will use the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" settings to pump up the sizes, instead of just decreasing the DPI setting. In effect, you are using two settings to control your display instead of just one.

    Timeslips works best in when you do not use the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" settings (keeping that at 100%).

    However, I believe you can disable the non-100% setting when you use Timeslips.

    Exit Timeslips. Then find your Timeslips icon that you launch Timeslips from and RIGHT-click on the Timeslips icon, go to Properties, then the Compatibility tab and check the box to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings."

    Relaunch Timeslips and let us know if that solves your issue.

    This didn't help; however, I went to my Control Panel and changed the Display setting from 125% to 100%, restarted the computer, and I was then able to view all of the client names I was trying at access. The only drawback from that is that I then had to change the Display setting back to 125% & restart the computer again in order to view Timeslips and my other programs at a comfortable size. Luckily, I won't have to make changes that often to have to do it that way.

    Thanks so much for your help, detailed instructions on what to do and prompt reply!
