    Zip it! [:#] Print issues with Excel 2007

    Was just upgraded to Excel2007 from Excel 2003. When I try to print any file created in Excel 2003 that has a pic/text box/ chart or any other object in the workbook it prints out of alignment(pics on text, text box/pics in different locations. It looks fine on the screen but when you print or print preview it is all jumbled. All margins are sent ok.

    I would look at a couple of things

    1. Is 2007 fully patched? (SP2)
    2. Try backing of your printer drivers to the base ones supplied with windows
    3. Try updating the print drivers if an are available from the vendor?
    4. Try dropping you screen resolution down to VGa or sVGA (sound stupid on a print issue but it can and has worked)

    Outside of that it could just be that 2007 is not so ggod with art, shapes, etc (It was definately a weak point in this realease as so much had to be done in this area. (That includes charts))
