Hello all,

I have a spreadsheet where my gridlines and text don't match when printed.
On other printers it prints fine. Other spreadsheets using the same printer
just fine. Any thoughts?

TIA

Steve

They once called it WYSIWYG, but it often is just the opposite.

The reason is, that all intermediate graphical calculations use their own
"resolution", be it pixel, twips or pips. Sometimes differences accumulate
considerably, and you see different outputs between interfaces, let say, (1)
screen, (2) print preview and (3) printer, or (4) PDF.

Tip: Don't squeeze blank space to the max. Leave some, to easier reach equal
output among (1)-(4).
