I checked both solutions, and both do NOT make square cells. When I start to
draw a rectangle in the top left corner (using the ALT-key to snap it to the
corner), and pull it towards the lower right corner using the SHIFT-key to
make a square rectangle, it does not end up in the corner.

Still no real way to making a cell exactly square.

Not quite. Width is set as the number of standard font numeric character
(e.g., 0) that will fit in the cell. You may have a standard font and
size that make that character exactly 12 points wide. That will
certainly not universally be the case.

MaxXL04 uses inches/cm directly to set cell heights and widths. AFAIK,
the only reliable way to do the same thing with WinXL is to use a macro
like
