Misplacement of objects on a sheet
Thanks Earl, I'll give it a try.
....kurt "Earl Kiosterud" wrote in message ... Kurt, I don't know specifically about 2007, but in general, Excel likes to move graphics around. We think the cleaning lady came in and changed the code just before Excel was finalized for release. Grouping them solves the problem. Select them, right-click one, and choose Group. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Kurt" wrote in message ... In Excel 2007 when loading a workbook (originally created in Excel 2000), objects like text boxes, rectangles, etc will frequently be placed on the sheet in the wrong place. I have posted an example at http://65.243.151.82. Notice in the "Correct" screenshot the row of buttons. You can click any of the buttons (which correspond to sheet names) and go to that worksheet. The current active worksheet ("WA" in the example) is indicated by the red background text box filling the space of the button (and circled in the example). In the "Incorrect" example, notice how the text box is shifted up and to the left, and is also smaller. This happens randomly. In some cases the text boxes on all of the worksheets are misplaced exactly as the example (relative to their original position). Other times it might just be one or two sheets. If I close and re-open the workbook, all is fine again (at least for a while). I've tried deleting and re-creating the text boxes, but the problem persists. This seems to be a bug. I have other sheets where a text box will be in the correct position if opened with a pre-2007 version of Excel, but much lower on the sheet when opened in 2007. Is there a place to report bugs and such? ...kurt |
