Excel text cell on screen turns different when printing

After I write a multiline text cell, in the print preview the words are put differently, often causing an extra line or, on the contrary, a line less. The same effect happens with different fonts, different printers (PDF too), different PC. I use office 2016 and Windows 10. I attach a file where you can see it both in the B3 and in B4 cell. Thanks for any suggestions!

    What's the issue? I can see the differences between the two settings, but don't know why it's a concern. I would suggest, if exact formatting control of text is your objective, you might want to switch to Word for your output, using Excel as the data source for a MailMerge process.
