Hi
For one square inch.
Try 12.45 (144 Pixels) for the width and 72 (144 Pixels) for the height.
On my Dell printer its exactly one inch.

The width of cells is displayed in characters and pixels. The height
of cells is displayed in points and pixels.

How do I know how many inches or centimeters a certain number of
pixels will be on printed paper?

For some reason, for me, the Page Layout view of Excel 2007 shows the
height and width of cells in _centimeters_ and pixels. Anyway, I
changed some cells to 144 pixels * 144 pixels and added border lines.
The Normal view actually then shows the width of each cell as 134
pixels. The outcome on paper: cells that have the width and height of
roughly 1.5 inches, measured using a ruler.
