Hi,
so I wrote a nifty VBA macro that EXACTLY positions some lines and text boxes in a chart object. The shapes look great in normal view, then I go to print preview and some are slightly off. I'm using Excel 2003 SP3. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Cheers,

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
When I print, the lines and text boxes are out of position as shown in print preview. Also, I'm wanting to print to a PDF and thought the problem was with the PDF conversion process but, the shapes are out of alignment in the print preview. It also looks like the vertical alignment is fine, but it's the horizontal positioning of the shapes that goes awry.
Cheers,

Could you add the lines using a dummy XY series? Could you add the labels using data labels attached to dummy XY points in another series? These approaches allow much greater control over positioning of these objects.
