Page Sizing of Document Different From One Computer To Next?

[Ark68]

I have created a one page "form" with an Excel worksheet of my work computer. It is designed in a manner to be previewed and printed on one page without any scaling.

When I take this same worksheet home and edit it, preview or print, it no longer fits within the one page originally created to be. There are no edits of the original worksheet, like widening columns or heightening rows that would force the contents into other pages. If I save it and take it to my work computer, for me to print the worksheets on one page again (as I'm able to do without scaling if I've created or editted the sheet contents at work) I have to scale it to fit on one page.

So, in a nutshell, create, edit and print worksheet from work, no scaling required. Enter in any access from my home computer, and page scaling becomes necessary.

What dictates the page size limits. Why does on computer see the page limits as different that another? Is there a way that I do not have to adjust sizing between computers. I wish to retain the page size from the originally work computer created document on my home computer.

Does this make sense? Easier to see than describe.

are your default printers set the same, standard ms install is legal

Hi Mole,

I figured it was a printer thing. Because the printer at work is a network printer, I don't have access to it on my home computer to make it default. Is there a workaround to that?

each printer you connect to can be usually set to the paper size you are using. if your default paper set at work is what you need then you'll have to fudge your home settings to make it work, or record your print and adjust the settings in the macro

Thanks again Mole. No different sized paper between the two computers, the document is created for an 8.5x11.
I'll record the print from the computer that does the actual print and see what data I can extract from that. I may be back to ask for to use that information
