Default Date and number not displayed correctly

Correctly means that the dates appear to be the same on both pcs?

I guess the next question is why does the font size change from 8 to 7 and why
does a font size of 7 not fit in a column with the same width.

Are you sure that the columnwidths are exactly the same?

If you do this on both pc's, what do you get back:
Select the column with the display problem
Format|column|Width
What do you see as the existing width in that dialog--for both PCs?

My thoughts are that the columnwidths are changing for some reason--or that the
printer driver is making a difference.

If you install the same printer driver (as the pc that looks ok) on the
troublesome pc and change printers, do things look ok?

One more question--what version of excel are you using?

Lots of people who used xl97 complained that columnwidths would change by
themselves. Upgrading to xl97SR2 fixed it for most--but not all.

displayed as arial 7. while in the original report it is set to arial
8.
