Fonts in Excel:mac 2008 seems too small on Mac

[Son]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Hello.
I have PC and Mac for working, on PC I use Excel 2007, on Mac — Excel 2008. I've set Calibri 10 pt as a default font for new spreadsheeds.
On PC spreadsheets with Calibri 10 pt fonts seems normal and readable with 100% scale. But the same file on Excel 2008 seems not readable, because Calibri 10 pt too small in Excel 2008 (also 100% scale). It's possible to increase scale in Excel 2008, but it's not comfortable to scale up files on Mac and then scale files down on PC.
All the PC and Mac have the same screen resolution (about 1400 x 900 pixels).

Does the problem actual for anybody else? Is there any solution (documented or ...) to increase scale factor for spreadsheets and especialy for fonts in Excel 2008?

Does the problem actual for anybody else? Is there any solution (documented
or ...) to increase scale factor for spreadsheets and especialy for fonts in
Excel 2008?

the problem stems from the different relative display sizes used by Mac
& Windows machines. Macs by default use a notional resolution of 72 dpi
(corresponding to the 72 ppi standard in printing), while Wintels use 96
dpi. Obviously the physical size changes with monitor resolution, but
the ratio still applies.

XL (both versions) set resolution in points, rather than pixels, so each
font point at 96 dpi will display 1/3 larger than 72 dpi.

I use a script to toggle the zoom in XL08. You can paste this into
Script Editor:

tell application "Microsoft Excel"
if zoom of active window = 100 then
set zoom of active window to 133
else
set zoom of active window to 100
end if
end tell

I saved it with the file name

Toggle Zoom\coZ.scpt

to my

~ocuments:Microsoft User Data:Excel Script Menu Items:

folder (where ~ is your home directory).

The \coZ in the filename allows me to use CTRL-OPT-z as a keyboard
shortcut for the script.
