A 2 line text showing up in the Cell in Excel prints in 1 line

It wraps, right, it wraps over the viewport, in this case, the screen,
now, the printer is another viewport, a hard-wrap and a soft-wrap are not
the same and the printer uses different stdout, so, as the other fella
said, use alt-Enter to put a hard-wrap, or, an actual line-feed the
printer can use.

When I type in text in a Cell in Excel, and wrap it, it fits in 2 lines. When
I print it, it prints in one line, leaving the other line as blank space. I
could not figure out what is the problem. This also happens for 3 or more
lines....when it prints in one line lesser than what it shows up in the Cell
on the computer

try with other fonts and see if it changes anything

The fonts (event true fonts) do not exactly print at the same width :
they gives different results on screen and on printer.

Some of them as big width difference, some others only a small one.

You can *force* the line to break at a particular place by using
<Alt> <Enter>

Well the problem is that when I force it to break a line, there is a large
space left before the cell width ends after the place where I force a break.
When it prints, it makes no sense that a small word which could have been
easily accomodated in the same line is taking another line while there is so
much blank space left on the previous line. I am using Verdana 8.0 size, I
also tried Arial 8.0 but its the same problem. It shows the problem in Print
Preview itself. You dont need to send it to a printer to see.

Start over, from the beginning, and adjust the length of *each* line with
<Alt> <Enter>.
