Excel Page end problems between Windows and Mac
The column width in Excel for Windows depends on the standard font. If you use Calibri 11 as the standard font and have a column width of 10, this means that 10 characters of the Calibri 11 font fit into one cell. Changing the standard font also changes the width of the columns.
A column width of e.g. 10 in Excel for Windows does not match a column width of 10 in Excel for Mac. You therefore have to convert the column width and adjust it on the Mac. Also make sure that you have set a font in Excel for Windows that is also available on the Mac.

NikolinoDE Thx for your quick answer. I now can stop searching for a solution...
Quite disappointing that this can't be solved. We work with 8-10 Mac's and approx. 15 windows stations and need to work in the same documents. We thought Excel = Excel....
but thx anyway.
Here are a few file formats with which you could possibly save so that it can be read by mac on windows and vice versa. Maybe it will help you to find a temporary solution.
