Default Date and number not displayed correctly

What exactly do you mean by "the format of the cells is not correct"?
Other than the columns being squeezed and, therefore, you might see
"#" symbols, what else is wrong?

What font is used? If the font is not available one system or the
other, a default font will be selected, which might be wider.

Another possibility is the screen resolution, I think; perhaps even
aspect ratio (4:3 v. 16:9). Look at the Display control panel.
