It's not just viewing but printing as well. I tried setting the zoom on the
spreadsheet to the same as preview but the lines are still 1/4" higher in
preview and printed than where I put them on the spreadsheet.

I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the aspect ratio of the
draw tool in SP1. It's very frustrating as we draw a lot on finished charts
and it consumes a lot of time to play around with the lines to get them to
print in the correct position.

One small thought. Is zoom the same?

I am running Excel 2003, SP1 on a Windows XP computer. I have recently
started having problems drawing lines on charts using the drawing tool.
I
used to be able to draw a line on a chart and it would print out in that
location. Now if I put a line on a chart, it prints about 1/4" above
where
I want it to go. I have to then move the line to a lower location to
match
the print preview to get it to print out correctly. Has anyone
experienced
this problem and if so, is there a setting or solution. I've tried
letting
Excel create the chart, putting in the line and then previewing for
printing
at 100%. I've also tried setting the print area around the chart to
lock
the chart into an area and then previewing. Neither one solves the
problem.

I can't help but think there is a setting off because I used to be able
to
do this and the screen view and print view were the same.
