Hello.

I repost this message, since I received only two answers which
didn't solve my problem.

I need some help with EXCEL. I'm running EXCEL 3.0 and EXCEL 4.0
under WINDOWS 3.1. The problem is exactly the same with Excel 3 and 4.

I have differences between what I see on the worksheet and what appears
on the PrintPreview (the printed size corresponds to the preview).

Let's say I write in a cell:

 |         |         |
 |This is a long text|
 |         |         |

This text is 2 cells wide. It fills exactly 2 cells on the worksheet.

What I have on the preview is:

 |           |           |
 |This is a long text    |
 |           |           |

The cells are actually wider. This is very uncomfortable when I use
Format Border Outline around the two cells.

I'm using True Type Fonts. The problem is the same with all sorts of fonts.

Using another PC, I didn't had this problem. I copied the file to my
PC and I have the problem again.

I was using the same EXCEL version under WINODWS 3.0 with Adobe ATM 2.0 and I
hadn't this problem.

I have the same problem with 3 PC and 3 different printers.
For each printer, I have the latest version of the printer driver.

HAS SOMEONE AN IDEA WHICH COULD SAVE ME OUT OF THIS NIGHTDREAM ?

Thanks.
Olivier.
