I had exactly this problem.  The nice folks at Adobe have obviously heard
it before because it took him about 2 seconds to say "Aha!"

Get into Excel.  Go to the printer setup.  Change the dots-per-inch to
75.  OK out to Excel again.  Go back in to printer setup and return it
to 300 dpi.  OK out again.  Done.

Excel has a setup problem.  This procedure causes it to set the right
value.

Good luck,
Mike
