How to make Excel cell real "Square" in size

[mrchonginhk]

Hello I wish to use Excel to draw some maps.

However, I found the width and height of Excel does not make sense at all.

For example, default Width is 8.38 while height is 14.25
But the width of the cells on screen and print out is much longer than the height in length.

How to make all cells in the whole spreadsheet real squares ?

I tried changing width and height to the same number but it does not work....

Pls help...

What I have just done (again not very accurate).

Work out how many millimetres wide/high you would like your squares to be and multiply that by 0.4 for the column width and 2.5 for the row height.
