formatting is incorrect when viewing in different zoom except for 75%

[Henry Chan]

Here's a strange one for you guys... I'm using Office XP and
currently working on a couple of excel spreadsheets. When I have the
zoom set to 75% everything looks correct, exactly like the print out.
However if I change my zoom to anything else besides 75% some of the
text goes over to the next column. It's pretty irrarting sometimes
becuase if I have it set to 100% I'd usually spend time playing with
the column width to get everything to fit and in acctuality I don't
have to becuase it looks correct when printed out and when in 75%
zoom. Any ideas?

This sounds like a resources issue, Henry. I'd try cleaning up my hard drive
and if that doesn't work, make sure your video driver's up to date.

Thanks for the tip. Why would resouce affect the "look" of excel? I
checked my resources and I have lots of free space and memory
utilization is low.

I'll also try updating my video drivers.

Resource availability can affect anything and everything. While less
important in Windows XP, it's still very important.

But my friend, Zack, says he had the same problem as you, so maybe it's an
Excel thing. Here's what he did about it:
