minimizing space between cell content for printing

[marina]

Hi,
Files printed from Excel 97 in Win98 allowed consequtive single line
cells to overlap and the letters to touch which economized on space for

volume printings.
Printing on the same HP printer from Excel 2003 in Win XP looses half
of the height of the letters.
If it was a printer driver bug, I would like to figure out if I can
force the same style of printing - minimizing space between rows to
zero so the letters touch. (For example, a "b" would touch a "g" on the
line above.)
TIA.

You can adjust the row height - highlight the rows in question and
Format | Row | Height and then type in a suitable value. If you are
using Arial 10pt (default), then the default height is 12.75, so you
can reduce this to 10.

Alternatively, having highlighted the rows, you can just drag the line
between two row identifiers to narrow the row (and all the others
highlighted).

Hope this helps.
