Gantt width anomaly

[Curmudgeon]

I am placing MSProject Gantt gifs vertically on a web page and need
the Gantt columns and plot areas in each gif to line up vertically.
The Gantts come from two different mpp files in which the views are
set to match one another. The column widths are identical, scaling is
set to 100%, both use fiscal year, the timescale settings are
identical, the Gantt panel content is comparable, and the two mpps are
created on the same workstation.

Nonetheless, in order to get the Gantts to match in total gif width,
and for the columns to line up vertically, I have to use different
from/to settings in the copy picture dialog, specifically
7/1/07-6/30/12 in one mpp and 6/1/07-3/30/12 in the other. If I use
the same settings in both, the timescale in one gif is offset to the
left from the timescale in the other, and the gif itself is wider than
the other.

I arrived at this through considerable trial and error - does anybody
know why the identical settings in two different mpps would result in
different offsets on the timescale and different physical gif widths?

Is there text to the left or right of any gantt bars? If you have something
like name there - it can have a variable width. That may have an effect

- Show quoted text -

All of the Gantt symbols have labels to the left, right, top, or
bottom. If text in the Gantt panel affects the width, I may just have
to accept some imprecision. These are all generated automatically and
I can't predict where labels are going to wind up - the symbols are
all rolled up to summaries, and the labels alternate left, right, top,
bottom to minimize collisions. I guess I'll just have to fiddle with
it some more.

Thanks
