Row Heights Incorrect Sizes

Hi, can someone please help, I've been inputting values for row heights
by selecting 'Format>>Rows>>Height' and entering my required
measurement of 6.5mm, but when I select 'Format>>Rows>>Height' for a
second time to check if they're properly sized, instead of the 6.5mm I
input I'm getting 6.35mm. This happens with columns too, they don't
retain the originally required number either.

I've looked in Excel's preferences and don't see anything that would
make this happen either.

This happens exactly the same on two different machines. Both with
Excel 2004 installed. Anyone got any ideas as I really need to sort
this out?

Thanks,
Christian Macey
 
Row height is linked to points - this is an old system based used by
printers and was linked to imperial measurements rather than decimal.
6.35mm equals 0.025 inch - presumably this is the closest match to
points for that height.

Hope this helps.

Pete
