SYMPTOMS
If you insert an AutoShape in the same cell as indented text, the AutoShape may overlap the text when you print or print preview the workbook.



CAUSE
Microsoft Excel is not a &quot;What You See Is What You Get&quot; (WYSIWYG) program. When you print or print preview an Excel workbook that contains AutoShapes, the placement of the AutoShapes is calculated according to the default printer driver you have installed. As a result, the AutoShape may overlap text in a cell.



WORKAROUND
There is no known workaround to this behavior.
