ActiveX Controls moving upon print/printpreview

[Steven Cheng]

I am running Excel 2002 w/ SP3. My ActiveX controls are moving towards the
left side automatically for some reason upon pressing print/print preview.
Can you please help me.

Ron;

Thanks. This is exactly it. Just curious though. I did do a search
through the knowledge base but couldn't find this. Is it perhaps that I was
searching on words that may have been too restrictive or is there a master
list? Or perhaps as part of the MVP designation, you must memorize all of
the postings?

But Jim Rech recently posted this:
This article is now obsolete. Since the 10/12/2004 security patch
there is no need to get a hotfix (although this article does not directly
mention this fix, it's in there).

But Myrna Larson posted that it didn't work for her in all her workbooks.

Hi Steven

Memory (I don't have much but this I remember)

If you look for

It will not find it also

I always search in the newsgroups first

Thanks Ron and Gord....unfortunately, the issue is at work and the control
over security patches and deployment over the company's network will create
some restrictions...so I guess at this time, I will just have to change my
controls.
