Print Problems Excel 2003
 
Hi, I am trying to print a chart as a PDF with some data beside it. There are
currently 960 points (240 rows, 4 columns, plus 2 axis)

The chart displays fine within Excel worksheet, but when print or print
preview is selected about half way down the 1st page the majority of the
graph points are in a single row and then on subsequent pages the graph
section is blank (The graph and data prints over 6 pages). I have tried
sending straight to printer but with similar results.

Any ideas ( I use the same chart format with less rows and more columns, but
will overall less points and do not have a problem)

When you set the print area, be sure to offset the selection area along
the right side, the equivalent of an inch or so. Not a solution, just a
thought about what may contribute to a print issue. On mine, the defined
'print area' is larger than the on screen plot/chart/graph along the
right side or it optically concatenates the chart. On mine.

Hi offset of print area makes no difference, I am now wondering if it relates
to memory

I have had problems printing pdfs. Try printing one page at a time.
