Excel 2007, Undesired selection of multiple cells

I recently purchase a new computer with operating system Windows 7.  I am using Microstof Office Professional Edition 2003.  All the cells are very large.  They need to be the original size.  How do I change Excell 2003 Excel Screen to have the cells horizontal and vertical become the original size.  Apparently Windows 7 has coverted the cells to be larger.  Whenever I receive email Excel files attached and I open them up, the files come through all garbled up because my copy of Excel has larger cells.  HELP!  I need to change all the cells back tot he original size.  Thanks for your help.  My email address is ******@msn.com.  Please reply back to me using this email address.

I have noticed that this glitch is present in the 2010 excel!!!!!!! This happens to just about ALL THE COMPUTERS set up on the FS building, which vary in brand and model - all running office 2010 PRO - So it's not a machine based glitch - it's software based.  The zoom in and out fixes it sometimes, but I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MICROSOFT DIDN'T FIX THIS GLITCH IN A NEW RELEASE!!!!!! especially since it was so pronounced in 2007.  What did we get in this 2010 bundle anyway?   My home computer (a Toshiba Qosmio) has office 2010 home edition and it ALSO has this problem.  I am very ready for this glitch to be fixed.  It wastes time.

I never had this issue until someone else started working on my excel spreadsheets.  And I have never seen this when we were on 2003.  Currently we are using 2007.  What fixed it for me was switching the View from Page Layout View to Normal View.  I was playing around trying all the things you listed above.  F8, Shift 5 times, zooming with the scroll and nothing. Then I said to myself I had how this person changes all my documents to Page Layout and I switched it to Normal and the problem was gone, LOL.  Curious if you guys are in Page Layout view.

There are many who have reported this problem because it is very frustrating when it occurs.  We have to stop our train of thought and go about trying to find a way to get rid of it while we are completing our present project.  We should not have to zoom in or out, switch from "normal" to "page layout", hit F8 or any of these temporary adjustments in the midst of our project.  I also cannot believe that Micorsoft would not fix this glitch in its new release.  I see now that Microsoft has become compacent about its products due their current leadership.  It is time for all of us who think critically to begin looking for another product from a supplier who is not complacent and will fix these small, troublesome glitches.  I for one am on the lookout for a new worksheet product.  Who wants to join me in this search?
