#4MV and Excel 4.0

We haven't heard much of this before, but it sounds like an out of memory
problem (memory meaning printer memory) since the normal procedure is to create
the numbers and then paint the lines.
Jack,
It's actually related to the non-VGA video driver being used in combination
with 600 dpi.

'…related to non-VGA video driver…'
More info :
The PC is using VGA video drivers at 640 by 480 resolution! Windows version is
3.10

Ken,

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I've never seen this happen when using out-of-the-Windows-box
VGA drivers at 640×480.
But the problem has been documented as being the result of Excel's reliance on
video driver screen position data for generating printer instructions (rather
than recomputing everything from scratch). Screen rounding is much, much
coarser than 600 dpi printing so this introduces considerable variation.
