Why different printing, it's the same file?

[IowaBuckMaster]

We have 2 workstations. Work station A has Windows 2000 OS, wit
Office 2000. Workstation B has Windows XP with Office 2000. I
Excel, we have a workbook on a network drive. Workstation A views an
prints the doc fine. A 30 word comment field fits perfectly into th
cell. Cell height is 78.20. Font is arial 8 point. In regular edi
view the text fills the cell. In print preview or printing, the cel
prints but the words don't fill the entire cell. There is a blan
line. Which is OK I guess.

For some reason when opening the same file on workstation B, the cel
height gets changed to 61.20. The text is still arial 8 point. I
regular edit view the text fills the cell. In print preview o
printing, the cell prints but, funny thing is the text fits in the cel
but the last line is cut in half. It's like the cell is not big enough


We checked default printer specs, Options for Excel. Everything seem
to be the same but the Operating System.

The document prints to 250 pages, so going through the entire documen
and making each cell bigger is an option we hope to avoid.

What ever happened to WYSIWYG. Anyone run into this?

Any ideas or suggestions. Please let me know. Thank

Are the display properties the same? Especially Display Properties,
Settings, Advanced, General DPI setting.
