SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you print a Gantt chart to a large paper size, such as ANSI E, (using an HP DraftPro EXL plotter for example), text that should appear at the end of a task bar appears on the right side of the page.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you print the Gantt Chart view of a project with a long duration. If you select a large paper size, the bar text for the tasks appears on the right side of the page in print preview and when you print, instead of at the end of the task bar as expected.

This behavior may also occur with bar symbols.

NOTE: If you increase the scaling (to 125%, for example) by using the scaling option in the printer driver options dialog box, the misplaced bar text doesn't appear.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
