Regarding things being oversized, make sure that you don't have activated zoom.


I imagine that this does not only occur with Word and Excel, but overall.


By default, zoom can be activated by holding the Control key while doing a scroll gesture (two fingers on the trackpad). Hold down control and scroll the other direction (i.e. down instead of up) to unzoom.
