XL97: Microsoft Graph Object Displayed Differently in Excel 97

Article ID: 175356

Article Last Modified on 9/22/2005



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Excel 97 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q175356


SYMPTOMS

When you open a Microsoft Excel workbook that contains a Microsoft Graph object, the object may be displayed differently than in earlier versions of Excel. When you print the worksheet, the contents of the Microsoft Graph object may be printed differently than in earlier versions of Excel.

The chart appears compressed when it is surrounded by other objects; the chart appears slightly enlarged when it is not surrounded by other objects. When the chart appears compressed, some labels do not appear in the chart.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because Excel 97 uses a different process for drawing objects. This process may cause objects that are created in the earlier versions of Excel to be resized.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, obtain Microsoft Excel 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2).

For additional information about SR-2, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2).
