Excel spreadsheets look a bit distorted when transferring/opening of excel documents between the 2016 version of excel on Mac OS X and the office 365 version on Mac.

By distorted I mean margins are little weirder and my logo appear to be squished. When sending the file back so it's like 2016 excel -> 365 -> 2016 excel the distortion is gone. It's only noticeable in the middle stage. Thank you

    Hi

    William is assuming you meant to say that you exchange files with Windows users. Is his assumption correct, or are these files being used exclusively on Macs?

    The version of Office 365 on Mac is Microsoft Office 2016. "Office 365" is the name of the subscription type that allows you to use Microsoft Office 2016. There's not a different version when you have a perpetual license. Just different features are turned on or off.

    Hi Peanutbutterj ,

    Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

    Regarding the symptom of this issue, would you mind share more details? By saying sending back, do you mean upload the spreadsheet from Excel 2016 fro Mac to OneDrive to Excel 2016 for Windows?

    If yes, please share the following information with us:

    1. Create another worksheet to check whether this issue related on your spreadsheet itself.
    2. Capture two screenshots so that we can see the difference of the margins.
    3. Follow this page to capture screenshots about the Excel version on Mac and Windows.

    Regards,

    William
