2. Select all of the cells. You can do this by pushing Ctrl + A, or by pressing the select all button (this is the button at the top left of the worksheet that is between the two rulers that should now be showing).

3. Adjust the rows with your mouse, or right click a Row and select Row Height. Enter the size of the cell you want. It should be in inches, not pixels. Repeat this step for the Columns.

Now all of your squares should be the same size and the measurement should be in inches. Note, be sure to adjust your printing area appropriately.

You may also have to copy the formatting to the new cells in your print area.
