I created a worksheet that has several objects on it, such as spinners
and command buttons. For some reason lately, when the user prints the
worksheet, all the objects shift (get jubbled) from their set
positions.

Not sure what is causing this and how to correct it. We are using
Excel 2002 SP2 on Windows XP Pro SP2. Any suggestions on how to
correct this?

TIA
Mike

Right click the control and choose "Format Control." On the
"Properties" tab choose to "Move and size with cells." I think this
solves the print problem. If it is not this option then it is one of
the other 3 that you can choose from.

Chris

Mike,

See if this article helps

It's not just a simple download.

I think it is, Dave, because it was included in the 10/12/2004 Security
Update. MSKB 873366 describes how to get it. As I recall the fix isn't
mentioned in the doc, it is there; I read it somewhere and proved to my
satisfaction that it worked. I'd be interested to see if you can confirm
this.

There have been a few posts (Myrna Larson and Ron de Bruin) that say that the
security update didn't fix it for them.

As I said I've applied the security update and it did the trick. I invite
you to try it and report your experience. The actual chain of documentation
is:

MSKB 873366 (Description of the Excel 2002 security update: October 12,
2004) says that it fixes the issues in the 829348 (Excel 2002 post-SP3
hotfix package of May 6, 2004).

And 829348 lists among its fixes:

838910 Controls move to the left of the worksheet in Microsoft Excel 2002

I've asked MS to update 838910.

I don't have xl2002 available anymore.

But I trust that it worked for you, but I trust Myrna and Ron, too.

But maybe it'll work for the OP.
