I have lots of ideas because I do this all the time but I don't know where to 
begin.  For me it's one of those things that I know so well, I can't explain 
how to do it.

Printer creep should never occur unless you are printing continuously (no form 
feeds) or the page size is not set right on the printer.

Excel will change it's print metrics ever so slightly for different printers 
and even the same printer if you switch the printer from draft mode to 
high-quality mode.  It will also change things if you alter the font size on 
the display control panel applet.

There are so many variables involved.  Ask me some questions ... maybe my 
answers will help.

P.S.  I promise I will not discuss grammar or spelling.
