Excel Spreadsheet View Issue XP and 2003 versions
On a series of spreadsheets I can see from A1 to N29 (14 Columns) on 100%
view (XP), however one of my users can see from A1 to EE29 (109 Columns) (so it is very condensed), also on 100% view (2003). The print preview is also mis-aligned. This is only an issue on about 20 spreadsheets, of similar layout, others are fine. If the user views the problem series on other machines then they are fine. There is nothing obvious in preferences, and the other workbooks are ok. My screen is 15 at 1280 x 960; the user has a 17 at 1290 x 1024. I appreciate that you would see more on a larger screen, but not to the point that the screen can not be worked with. The user with the issue is seeing 109 columns, whereas I see 14. I would not expect that much difference to the working screen. Ive changed the monitor twice, once to an identical 17 monitor, and once to another 17 model. Each time the spreadsheet view is compressed. The spreadsheets in question were working fine up until 30 June, when the used went on holiday, an on their return on 08 July the view was causing problems. No other issues with this user account or system. Kind regards Iain Stedman |

Excel Spreadsheet View Issue XP and 2003 versions
Hi Iain,
Sounds like the windows font sizes (dpi) are different. In XP goto control panel display properties, the general tab. Check the DPI setting in the top drop down box. 96 dpi is normal.

Excel Spreadsheet View Issue XP and 2003 versions
Hi John
Thanks for the suggestion I've checked both monitors, and they are both 96dpi. Some newer spreadsheets, created since 08 July 2009, are showing ok, but everything before that date is an issue on that particular machine.

Excel Spreadsheet View Issue XP and 2003 versions
Hi Iain,
The only other thing I would suggest is changing the monitor resolution on both machines to 1024 x 768 and see if they both look the same. It may be video driver related.

Hi John
I've hanged the resolution to 1024 x 768, with no change. I've checked for new drivers, but there is nothing newer than I have. Thanks for your suggestions.

Excel Spreadsheet View Issue XP and 2003 versions
Further to setting both machines to 1024 x 768, I have now logged in on the
other machine, and I can see the sheets with no issue. Would this suggest that there is something in his settings.
