Excel Scaling Issues

In my workplace, we have these excel templates for our reports on our network . These templates have been used for years with no problems. Recently, a coworker who had just gotten a new computer has had scaling issues with these excel templates. The images in her header and footer were about 75% the size of what they should be. Every other setting in page setup besides the header and footer sizes were identical to mine yet the contents on her page were expanded vertically slightly more than everyone else's. I made sure we had the same margins. I had her send me a template that she manually corrected on her computer. When viewed from her computer it was perfect but when I viewed it from my computer the header and footer images were about 125% the size they were on hers. The actual measurements were changed for only the header and footer images. We are using the old 97-2003 .xlt templates with excel 2010. I tried sending her a more modern .xlsx template file and oddly enough this fixed the header and footer image sizes but her template was still was expanded more vertically than everyone else's as if her margins were off even though we had identical margin settings. Any ideas why this is happening??? Thanks!

Also, I tried running a repair on her microsoft office in hopes it would restore some default setting but no luck.

Also, f
or more clarification, The text itself is slightly larger on her computer and the text begins higher on the page and ends lower on the page. We printed off two identical excel sheets with just a couple cells filled with numbers. One was printed from her computer and the other was printed from another computer. We used the same printer and her text was slightly larger with greater spacing and smaller margins even though they were identical documents with identical fonts, margins, spacing, etc.
