Josh,
My first guess is that this is a display problem.  Pull up a
document, any document, print it out, and put a ruler on the
document.  I'm betting that the actual printout will match the
software "ruler."  If so, you might check your screen resolution:
if the ratio of the video output (1024X768 for example) doesn't
match the ratio of your screen, distortion will occur.  Also check
the pixel dimensions per inch for horiz. and vert. Mine, for example,
are 96X92.  If I force the video card to assume the pixels are
92X92, the screen image will be distorted.
