ActiveX Controls loose left position after printing/preview

[Sixta Zerlauth]

Hi,

I use MS Office XP SP3 on MS Win2K.

I have Excel worksheets with activex controls with free defined
positions on the page (i.e. not linked to a cell).

When I print the page or when I use "page preview" all activex controls
are shifted to the left side of the page (i.e. the left position is set
to 0). The top position and the height of the activex controls are
unchanged.

This effect is reproducible with various printer drivers.

When I use MS Office 2003 I cannot reproduce this effect.

Has anyone an idea what is going wrong with Office XP?

Kind regards,
Sixta Zerlauth

This is a bug introduced in SP3. To fix it, as the article says, you must
change the properties to Move and Size with Cells (instead of Move but don't
size).
