Last reviewed: November 3, 1994
Article ID: Q68721

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.0a, 5.0

SUMMARY

When you print a 3-D chart to any standard plotter, Microsoft Excel will not correctly "hide" the portions of the lines and formatting on the axes planes that fall behind the chart markers. For example, the line running along the back end of the x-axis will show through a 3-D column marker when plotted.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem does not affect other printer drivers (such as the HP LaserJet and PostScript printers).
