It's always been normal when I do it. (But it's not what I want.)

I sometimes add an additional alt-enter at the end of cell's value. Then if
that cell wraps weirdly, I still figure my text will still be there.

WYSIWYG isn't really WYSIWYG

You may want to try:
format|cells|Alignment tab|and shrink to fit.

It may shrink the text to something slightly smaller that'll work on your
hardcopy. (I didn't test this.)

thank you,

well, if the effect you are talking about is the only problem, then it's a
bigger effect than I could imagine:

I made a try: a text showing on the screen (width = half a page), compared
with colons borders.
The printed text is longer than the text on screen: but i'm talking about 4
or 5 characters !
(i.e. I need to type many characters to bring the text on screen at the
same border-end than the printed text !)

The "arial" is bad. [to end on the creen at the same border I need to add 5
characters on the line]

The "times new roman" comes bigger but not so much, it's not acceptable but
less effect. [2 more characters]

With Batang it's very very bad ! [10 more characters !]

With some special fonts (8514oem) the effect is the opposite (it gets
smaller).

I suppose the fonts are not the same on the printer and on the screen but
sometimes is hard to say:
With Courier I need to add 14 ! (courier is supposed to be known by almost
all the printers)

So is it the "still close, but not identical" you are talking about ?
I'm still very surprised. Is it really "normal" ?
