Compare the NORMAL styles of the two workbooks:

From the Excel Main Menu:
<format<style
Style Name: Normal

Does that help?

What accounts for a difference in font size in the column and row headers
between two workbooks, even though one is the parent of the other, they
have
identical row and column sizes and both are displayed at the same scale?
I
didn't think this was adjustable.
