Experimentation suggests that the zoom factor in use when the 
document file is saved is stored in the document, with the effect 
that it can be reopened with the same appearance.  This is the case 
whether the document is saved as .xls, .xlsx, or .ods.  Calc appears 
to respect the saved zoom factor in each case, but Microsoft Office 
2010, whilst it respects the zoom saved in .xls and .xlsx files, 
ignores that in .ods files - even when saved by Microsoft Office itself.

Presumably it was being displayed at a zoom factor of 60% and was 
saved as an .ods file.

I trust this helps.
