Default Trendline formatting doesn't print or preview properly!?

Folks:

Bug? Known issue? Or Operator Error?

I notice that in an Excel Chart, if you set the line format of a trendline
to one of the dashed formats it has an oddly coarse appearance when viewed
in the worksheet window (dashed but messy), any when printed (or viewed in
Print View) the line style appears as continuous.

The same dashed line formats for regular data series view and print just
fine.

We've tried this on Excel 2002 and 3, on two different PCs with two entirely
different sets of data and excel docs and printing to three different brands
of printers.

Not sure if printer driver has any impact on any of this, but the fact that
regular series print fine probably eliminates that.

Any clues? Confirmation that you too see this? Thanks,

Graham
