I have noticed that I can create a wonderfully laid out and formatted Excel document on my home computer. Its a document that has been designed to fit nicely on one page.

However, when I take that same document to work, it no longer fits on the one page. The only way I can do that is to scale it to fit all the columns on one page. This reduces the overall page, fonts etc.

Why the difference in the page layout from one computer to the next? Is there anything I can do that will allow me to create my page at home and print it at work without having to adjust everything again?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Different computer could mean different resolution, different graphics and different printer could mean different resolution, different graphics. Most likely the printer but could be either or both.

So I will assume there is no real fix then? Would installing the printer driver from the work computer on my computer make a difference?
