    Hi,

    I am currently having issues with excel formatting where rows in my excel filed are being "squished", meaning that the width of rows in my excel are being shortened when I open the file on my PC after I have worked on it from my Macbook Pro Retina (MBPR). It looks fine when I'm on the Mac but when the file is opened on PC's the rows are all off. I am currently on Build 9.0.24172, Windows 7, OS X 10.9.1. I am using Dropbox to sync my files from my MBPR to my PC work computer.

    Photo of my issue attached:

    Same issue here, has to do with the DPI setting in Windows. If you set the scaling to 100% in Windows VM, Excel docs look normal everywhere, but the interface elements in the Windows VM are way too small to work with. Workaround I just discovered is to save the files as .XLS instead of the default .XLSX.
