Plot Area Fill Cut Off When Printed
Hello,
Excel 2003 on XP I print an Excel column chart on a plotter. The Plot Area has a one-color, shaded background (horizontal light yellow fading to white). Print preview looks fine, with the entire plot area filled with the assigned fill effect. When I print, the fill leaves about 5% of the plot area white on the left side. It doesn't appear to line up with anything in particular--it just starts distanced away from the y-axis on the left. Any idea why? |

Plot Area Fill Cut Off When Printed
Well, when I copied the chart to PowerPoint and printed from there, it turned
out fine. Good enough for me. Not sure why it doesn't print properly from Excel. "Rutabaga" wrote: Hello, Excel 2003 on XP I print an Excel column chart on a plotter.

I think PowerPoint's better than Excel at gradient fill patterns. I usually
just avoid such effects. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Rutabaga" wrote in message ...
