Default printing charts in excel

I created a chart in excel 2002, I included text box and arrows that pointed
to different parts of a line graph. It looks fine on the screen but when you
go to print preview the arrows are pointing to the wrong place. It also
prints the messed up print preview version.

Please help!

Default printing charts in excel

gslegal -

The text box and arrows may not be "attached" to the chart.

To properly add drawing objects to a chart, for each object, first select
the chart (by clicking just inside its outer border), then click the
appropriate icon on the drawing toolbar, and (without any other intervening
clicks) finally click and drag on the chart to attach the drawing object.

Otherwise, the drawing object may be associated with the underlying
worksheet cells instead of the chart.

If these instructions don't help, consider checking for the latest printer
drivers.
