Drawing Lines In Excel 2007

[Roadrunner]

I am unable to get excel 2007 to draw or print lines with a weight less than
3/4pt.
I can select lines from Insert-Shapes menu with a weight less than 3/4pt but
they always appear on screen and print as heavier lines. When I try this in
Publisher or Word, all is ok.

Any help appreciated.

I cannot reproduce this
How do you know the line is > 0.75 pts?
I drew a .75 and a 1.25 and the latter prints much darker/wider than the
first
best wishes
Is the print driver up todate?

I can understand that when you drew a line of 1.25 it would be darker/wider
than a line of .75 as I can do this as well.
What I am trying to do is a line less than .75pt (Such as .5 and .25).
My printer driver is up to date.
As mentioned earlier, in Word and Publisher these lines of less than .75pt
print out perfectly.

Hi Roadrunner,
On my HP laser, a 0.25 and a 0.75 pt line look the same from Excel but not
from Word
I will put this to on the Microsoft connect
best wishes

Hi Bernard,
Thanks for your response.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is Microsoft connect?
Kind regards
