LibreOffice Calc: two documents with same font and size with different results
I created two documents (meant to be front and back of a brochure) with LibreOffice Calc. I used the same font and size (Droid Sans size 10) for both and they came out of the printer in very different size.
What I tried: to make sure the right size was used, I marked the full text, changed the size (it visibly changed on screen) then changed it back to size 10 (again I could watch the change on screen). I did the same with the second text and saved both. They still came out very different.
I checked the printer setting but couldn't find any 'resize'-mode.
Any ideas, please? Thank you.

Check Menu Format -> Page -> Sheet Tab -> Scaling mode. See superuser.com/a/675286/84724

That was it! Thank you so much. I didn't know about that scaling mode and definitely didn't change it, so I wonder how it got to 85% in that one page. But at least it's now fixed. Thanks a lot!
