Picture objects and text boxes change position
I created a combination (line-column) chart within a worksheet, and inserted
a gif picture object onto the bottom right-hand corner of the chart. For some reason, when I save the file and then reopen it, the gif object has moved slightly. Each time I save and reopen the file, the gif's position changes again ... eventually the gif will move off of the chart. The same thing happens with a text box I inserted onto the bottom left-hand corner of the chart (the text box references a cell containing the TODAY formula). I've tried moving the chart to a separate chart sheet and same problem occurs. Any ideas about what might be causing this quirk? Any suggestions on how to correct the problem? |

Picture objects and text boxes change position
Hi,
I have never had this problem, however, there are two ways to put a graphic or a text box on a chart and they behave differently, so you might want to experiment with them. 1. Insert the graphic or textbox into the spreadsheet and THEN drag it over the chart. 2. Select the chart, and with it selected create a new textbox or Insert a new graphic. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Tyler H" wrote: I created a combination (line-column) chart within a worksheet, and inserted a gif picture object onto the bottom right-hand corner of the chart.
