Default Printing Graphs with drawing lines added

Instead of drawing a line, you can follow Jon Peltier's instructions to
add a line to a chart:

http://www.peltiertech.com/Excel/Cha...s.html#AddLine

For your existing lines, it sounds like one is pasted into the chart,
but the other is on the worksheet. To add an object to a chart, first,
select the chart, then select the drawing tool, and draw in the chart.

I have a graph and I have used the drawing line to add a target. It
looks fine on the screen but when I do a print preview or print the
line goes away. I have another graph with the same type of drawing
line but it will print. I need to know what to do to get the drawing
line that is overlayed on the chart to print like my other chart.

To follow up on Debra's second topic: to group the drawing object and chart
after the fact do this-
1) left click on drawing object
2)hold shift and left click on chart border
3) right click and select Group from popup menu
Done

Best wishes
