    Hi. When working with Power query, I was compiling a conditional column using the "step" dialog box and I somehow managed to unintentionally managed to re-size the dialog box and it has re-sized all other step dialog boxes which are now un-usable. I can't see any "global" settings to change the size of the boxes. How do I undo this to revert the step dialog boxes back to their original size. Thanks for your help.
