Excedl 2008: column width differ from earlier versions

Just installed Office 2008. When opening Excel-files from Excel 2004 the
column widths and row higts in Excel 2008 are different from Excel 2004.

In Excel 2004 width 10 eq to 2,65 cm and hight 70 eq 2.65 cm
In Excel 2008 width 10 eq 2.29 cm and hight 70 eq 2.47 cm

What about this. Do I have to adjust all my thousands of documents manually?
Or is it possible to do it another way?

Hi,

On the PC column width is not related to cm, instead it is related to the
default font. In Excel 2007 Microsoft changed the default font and with it
the column with. I don't have Excel 2008 installed but you may be seeing a
similar phenomenon.

Cheers,
