It seems that there is a minor difference when using Office 2000 on an NT4 PC versus a W2K PC. I have an Excel document that displays differently when viewed on the NT4 versus W2K platform. The document was originally created on the NT4 machine.

Here's what I've tried:
Office 2K with no SP2 on W2K machine - no go
Office 2K with SP2 on W2K machine - no go
Office 2K with no SP2 on NT4 machine - okay
Tried installin the Arial font from NT4 machine to W2K machine - no go

What else can I try?

All the settings and page setup settings are the same on both.

can you show any pics to help compare and better visualize the problem?

Basically, in some cells, on the NT4 machine, the number shows up fine. But on the W2K machine, it appears that the number is too big so it shows up with the XXXXX.
But checking the settings, column width, etc., its all the same. Also, the margins seem to be off a bit.

I may be wrong/suffering from heatstroke.

The file is stored on a 3rd computer that is NTFS. The NT4 machine is FAT and the W2K machine is NTFS.
