I can understand that when you drew a line of 1.25 it would be
darker/wider
than a line of .75 as I can do this as well.
What I am trying to do is a line less than .75pt (Such as .5 and .25).
My printer driver is up to date.
As mentioned earlier, in Word and Publisher these lines of less than
.75pt
print out perfectly.

I cannot reproduce this
How do you know the line is 0.75 pts?
I drew a .75 and a 1.25 and the latter prints much darker/wider than
the
first

Is the print driver up todate?

I am unable to get excel 2007 to draw or print lines with a weight
less
than
3/4pt.
I can select lines from Insert-Shapes menu with a weight less than
3/4pt
but
they always appear on screen and print as heavier lines. When I try
this
in
Publisher or Word, all is ok.

Any help appreciated.
