    Spreadsheets are 'squashed' when opening

    Sorry for the lame description but that is what it looks like. Here's the situation...

    Office Version:Office 2007 Operating System:Server 2008R2

    We upgraded one of our offices from Server 2003 R2 running Terminal Services to Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services. I moved a shared directory from the old TS which contained many Excel spreadsheets. When a user attempts to open one of the relocated spreadsheets, the entire sheet (workbook) displays all squashed up in the upper lefthand corner of Excel. This could be a multi-columned sheet but it is compressed into approximately 2" H X 4" W area. If the workbook has multiple spreadsheets, they are all compressed in this way.

    I can select all and change the font from COURIER to VERDANA (for example) and it will sort of fix the problem but, not entirely. I then have to resize all columns and rows. Another weird thing is when selecting a font, I get no preview for COURIER. Have never seen this before, hoping someone has...

    Some screenshots...

    The screenshots are at 75%, when I take it to 100% you only see BLACK with WHITE lines. I've attached another SS to show this..

    Thanks again,
