SYMPTOMS
A line constrained to the gridline is printed at a slightly different position than the gridline. In Print Preview, the misalignment is not visible.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The Snap to Grid option available on the Drawing toolbar allows you to draw lines that are aligned with the cell grid or with the intersections of the gridlines. When you align a 0.25pt line with a gridline, the line appears to be slightly shifted when printed. This behavior is less visible when you use a thicker line. For example, you can use 0.5pt or the default 0.75pt line style instead.
