Chart - Inserted shape disappears when printing
I use Excel 2007. I have a chart with a 'line' shape. I see the shape in edit
mode, print preview, and also when printed. However, when I share the file with my boss (who uses vs. 2003) she can see the line shape but when she prints it becomes invisible. Any ideas? Thanks RDS |

Try grouping the line and the chart.
The click one, hold CTRL and right click the other, use Group OR: delete the line; click the chart and re-add the line while the chart is still selected then the two will be grouped best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "RDS" wrote in message ...

Can't group as the line needs to be movable.
Thanks for your suggestion. Any others? RDS "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Try grouping the line and the chart.

Her laser printer, to the difference to yours, cannot print the hair lines.
Thicken up the “invisible” lines by a degree. -- Petr Bezucha "RDS" wrote: Can't group as the line needs to be movable. Thanks for your suggestion. Any others?

Chart - Inserted shape disappears when printing
Hi,
Rather than display a line shape on the chart why not create a line with the chart. Please explain what the line is used for so we might suggest an alternative - for example does it represent the Average, or some target value or ... Excel 2007 has highly enhanced graphics, way beyond 2003, so depending on line quality (thickness for example) 2003 may not be able to print it. If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "RDS" wrote: Can't group as the line needs to be movable. Thanks for your suggestion. Any others?
