Camera destroys Charts
 

Dear Group,

you have a chart (no matter which type) and you create a camera (Picture
Link) which shows the chart
by referencing to the range behind the chart.
Then you print (or print-preview) the camera.
Under certain conditions you can see that the plot area of the chart looses
height with each print.
This happens when the chart is smaller than a critical minimum size.
The minimum size seems to depend on the default printer driver.
This effect can be reproduced with Excel 2003.

Has anyone experiences with this ?

Thanks in advance, Holger.

Camera destroys Charts
 

Holger,

This bug has existed in Excel for many versions, and it still exists in
Excel 2007. However, the bug doesn't affect everyone. I was free of it for
several years, and I know people who have never had the problem.

The bug *might* be associated with your printer driver. If you have printer
drivers for other printers, you might try them to see what happens.
