View of Excel form is different on different computers.
 
A common form being shared on the network displays differently on different
computers. We have varying versions of Office with different windows
operating systems. The form views fine on the Windows 98 system with Excel
2000. All of the other systems are newer with Windows 2000 or XP using equal
or newer versions of Excel. They show the form displayed with all of the
columns squeezed together.

Is there a way to make the form view the same on all computers regardless of
operating system and Excel version?

You've partially answered your own question - the more disparity between
systems & software the more likely & more sever this can be. From what you
describe, however, it sounds like the major difference could simply be that
the systems with the "squeezed" columns are running at a higher resolution
(1024x768) while the others are at 800x600. Might this be the case?
