What you see on the screen is a function of a number of things: screen
resolution; application magnification, etc. On paper the result depends on
the font size: 12 point meaning 12/72 inch high for the character H.

The text in a excel printout (which is really in this case a word
document)
comes out smaller than the way it appears on screen. Does anyone know why
and
how do I make them the same? Thanks
