By chart lines, you mean lines you've drawn using Excel's drawing toolbar.
To avoid some of the shifting, you should select the chart prior to
selecting the drawing tool, so that the shape you draw will become part of
the embedded chart, rather than just floating along with it.

If the lines are horizontal or vertical (or even just defined by two
points), you should create them using a chart series, so they are linked to
a given position in the chart:

Hi All,

When I print or print preview charts as objects on worksheets, some of
the straight lines shift, and even form bends in them. The problem
doesn't occur when the chart is created in it's own sheet. The problem
is the same no matter which printer I use, or when I output to pdf.

I'm running Office XP SP1. My company will not allow an upgrade to SP3
because it is too unstable. Is there anyone who has encountered this
annoying bug, and even better, been able to fix it? Does SP3 fix the
issue like Microsoft claim?

Cheers,

David
