I am in the process of upgrading desktops to Office 2003 from Office 2000. We
run Windows XP at the desktop, and have Server 2000 on the servers. We have
noticed that spreadsheets that were created in Excel 2000 have an issue with
gridlines in Excel 2003. When printed, spreadsheets that were created in the
earlier version have text that "drifts" over the gridlines printed in Excel
2003. If we go to a PC that still has Excel 2000, it prints fine. I noticed
that if we change the font to a non-proportional font (such as Sans Serif),
the problem goes away. New spreadsheets created in Excel 2003 are fine with
any font. I've tried clearing all formatting, copying data into new
spreadsheets, etc. - all to no avail. I don't see this listed as a known
problem anywhere. Any ideas what may be causing this problem? Thanks!

I would suspect a corrupt print driver while making the upgrade. Try a
machine with a re-installed/upgraded print driver
