I think Calc defaults to zoom of 60% when the View mode is Page instead of Normal.

[libreoffice-users] Question about LibreOffice Calc 4.2.1 and MS Excel workbook
Hi! A friend of mine has LibreOffice 4.2.1 installed alongside MS Office 2010 Starter Edition on his Windows 7 system. He received an Excel spreadsheet via email which he can open just fine in both Excel and Calc. The problem is when he opens the file in Calc, it opens with the page zoom set to 60%. When he opens the file in Excel, it opens with page zoom set to 100%. Because of this, he didn't think he could edit the file in Calc since he couldn't read the info. He wasn't aware of the page zoom capability of either application. :) Any ideas as to why Calc would open the spreadsheet with a page zoom of 60%? Thanks in advance! Peace...
