Hi Guys,

I have several line and column charts in a worksheet, and for all of these I have made my x axis a category and added a data table.

Now usually this means that the data table is stuck to the X_Axis, which is exactly what I want.

And that's exactly how it appears on screen. But not, however how it prints.

Is this a known blip? I've never seen it happen before.

I haven't as yet. There are two data sheets here - one that prints for the users, and one that I use to graph, so the graphing sheet is all '=Data!A4' etc. It means that it would be quite time consuming to re-create, but there you go. I guess that means I might have to try.

My other option I guess is to use the JWalk Chart tools to export all charts as gif'sand produce the printed version from there. It just annoys me that I can't make it work in the way that it always has!

Thanks for all of your efforts though - appreciated as always.

Skip - Did you get the same problem? I'm just wondering if it is actually a bug rather than a setting I haven't yet found?

I have not been able to reproduce your problem. Sorry, I should have stated that fact.

It MAY be a stray, arcane, remote, stealthy, furtive setting: a DEFINITE maybe. ;-)

Then again....

Skip,

Fair enough.

that gives me something else to go on at least!

Thanks again.
