Is there an easy way to make the row height and column width fit to a certain
scale (example....1 inch x 1 inch)?

Column width and row heights defaults are not in inches or mm.
The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.
Row heights are measured in points or pixels. There are 72 points to an inch
and "maybe" 96 pixels to the inch.

If you want to use VBA to set height and width in
mm(25.4mm/inch)....................
Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.

Excel uses points or pixels as measurement for width and height. When
you drag the column or row to change its size, two numbers appear next
to your mouse cursor. The first is in points and the second is pixels
(in parenthesis). To convert the points or pixels to inches keep in
mind that 1 inch = 72 points or 1 inch=96 pixels. If you are familiar
with VBA you can create a macro to automatically resize ranges to
specified dimensions.
