Many Office 2013 users have reported their fonts look ‘blurry’ or indistinct. This only seems to be the case in Windows 8 with Office and Internet Explorer on the Desktop other programs appear to be unaffected. This happens because Microsoft has disabled Clear Type  a technology that improves

fonts on LCD monitors, but doesn’t work so well on tablets.

It’s possible to improve the look of fonts by disabling hardware acceleration. Click the File button, then Open. Click Advanced on the left and scroll down the right-hand side of the window to the Display section. Select the option ‘Disable hardware graphics acceleration’, then click OK. Increasing the zoom level can also make a dramatic improvement, although you won’t be able to fit as much onscreen.
