Why does my excel Page Layout differ from one computer to another

My excel workbook on my Dell computer's Page Layout lines up differently when I open it on my Microsoft Surface. Row 52 is on Page 1of 3 on one computer and on Page 2 of 3 on the other. Is there anyway to make the layout the same on all computers and it is a shared file on Onedrive?

 

thanks

    Excel's page layout is driven by the active printer driver and its settings. Even if the same printer is used on both computers, slight differences in the printer driver may cause differences in how Excel decides to print your sheet. I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about that, other than experimenting with both printerdriver settings and page setup settings.

      Oh, ok. I read about printer setting and try to amend them, but I didn't know about the drivers. Will give it a try and let you know.

      thanks so much
