SYMPTOMS
When you open a Microsoft Excel workbook that contains a WordArt object,
the contents of the WordArt object may be spaced differently than in
earlier versions of Excel. When you print the worksheet, the contents of
the WordArt object may be printed differently than in earlier versions of
Excel. In particular, the characters spacing may be different.
CAUSE
This problem may occur because Excel 97 uses a different process for
drawing objects. This process may cause objects that are created in the
earlier versions of Excel to be resized.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, obtain Microsoft Excel 97 Service Release 2
(SR-2).
For additional information about SR-2, please see the following article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for
Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 97 Service Release
2 (SR-2).
