Default Poor fit-to-page printouts

How come cell contents become non-printable when the printout is fit to the
page? We have worksheets that display and print fine at 100%, but print
poorly when fit to the page. In fact, the problem is evident in the print
preview
even before printing. Shouldn't the program simply reduce all elements so
they
will print as in normal mode only smaller?

For example, in one sheet we have a column of phone numbers formatted with
the special format for phone numbers. The column is plenty wide and
contains
more blank space per cell, including the contents, than many other cells.
Notwithstanding, the phone numbers all print as asterisks (*), indicating
the content won't fit in the designated cell, when the printout is forced to
scale the printout to one page.

This problem is most frustrating since it appears that the worksheet is
well-designed and should print fine. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to
properly print our worksheets when reduced to fit the page?
