XL97: Gridlines Are Displayed Incorrectly in Print Preview (172775)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q172775 SYMPTOMS
When you print gridlines in a workbook in Microsoft Excel 97, and the print
quality of the workbook is set to 150 dots per inch (dpi) or less, the
gridlines may appear as thick gray lines in print preview. However, the
output is printed normally.
Note that the gridlines appear especially thick when the print quality is
set to 75 dpi.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:
- You set the print quality to 150 dpi or less on the Sheet tab of the
Page Setup dialog box.
-and-
- You print to a printer that uses the Universal Printer Driver,
Unidrv.dll. This includes most laser printers and inkjet printers.
NOTE: PostScript printers do not use Unidrv.dll, so they are not
affected.
-and-
- You select the Gridlines check box in the Page Setup dialog box.
-and-
- You are using Microsoft Windows 95
NOTE: The printed output of worksheets does not exhibit the symptom. Only
print preview is affected.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for
Windows.
