Pie chart labels move depending on PC used!
 

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet which contains a number of pie charts with labels. I
have moved most of the labels manually so they do not overlap. On screen they
mostly appear ok and when I click 'save as' pdf they don't move to much
(noting that there are some problems with the 'save as' functions).

The problem is that when the same file is opened by a colleague, without
making any changes, the labels have moved and now overlap. If I open the same
file on my PC they are fine.

Why does the latest version of Excel vary from PC to PC and is there a way
to fix the problem as it is a fundamental flaw in terms of collaboration?

Thanks,
Paul.

Are the different PCs also using different printer drivers? I would check
that first.

Just a thought,

Hum...the other PC did have a different printer set as the default but the
printer I use is also on there.

We tried changing the default printer and then opening the file but it had
no effect.

We have also tried screen resolution and that doesn't work either!

Any other ideas?

Paul.
