| Try this:
| 1. Open Excel
| 2. Drop a Text Box control from the Control Toolbox
| toolbar on to the sheet (near the middle of the window).
| 3. Print Preview, and close to return to the worksheet.
| 4. The Text Box control shifts to the left!
|
| 5. Now try it again, but this time drop a Text Box control
| from the Drawing toolbar. The Text Box control does not
| shift to the left.

| This behavior is only observed on SP3. This defect is not
| found in 2002 (no service pack), 2002 SP2, and 2003 SP1.
