XL98: Certain Trendlines in Charts May Appear Distorted (181769)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181769 SYMPTOMS
If you use a chart that contains a trendline (polynomial or logarithmic),
and you format the trendline to use a dashed line, the trendline may appear
distorted.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not change the line style for the trendline
in your chart. The default line style, which is a continuous line, does not
appear distorted when you use it.
If you already changed the line style for the trendline in your chart,
change the line style to a continuous line (instead of the dashed line).
To do this, follow these steps:
- Select the trendline by clicking it once.
- On the Format menu, click Selected Trendline.
- Click the Patterns tab. Under Line, click Automatic and then click OK.
NOTE: Changing the line weight has no effect on this problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
