greetings,
i went to microsoft's web page for office and tried to find a way to
contact them. there was a link that brought me to this newsgroup.
hopefully i'm in the right place...
i am having a problem with excel after updating to MacOS 10.3. i
installed the office updated to bring excel to 10.1.5. am working on a
powerbook g4 (500 MHz modle)...
the symptom is that when i open excel files there are lines across some
cells in the worksheets. specifically, i have used the drawing layer
with boxes and the lines connecting the objects (boxes mostly) to draw
fault trees. for the drawing, i've used the square autorouting lines
(they run vertical and horizontal with square corners only, no
diagonals. they look similar to what org charts look like)... the
problem is that there are random places where lines appear to connect
objects that are the point-to-point (diagonal) lines instead of the
square corner autorouting lines. the square corner lines are still
intact. but the point to point (diagonal) lines also look like they
connect the boxes. if i move a box the diagonal lines follow the moved
object. however they cannot be selected or deleted in the drawing
layer. they will disappear temporarilly if i go to the spreadsheet
layer, select the cells that are under the diagonal line, and use the
"edit : clear : contents" menu option. however the lines reappear if i
move an object or switch to another spreadsheet and come back. the
diagonal lines only show up on a few objects in each page, not all
objects...
if i use excel's print preview, the lines show up exactly as in the
program. however if i use apple's print preview (from the print dialog
box) that creats a pdf in "preview" app, the diagonal lines do not
appear. this definitely seem to be some kind of display/window drawing
problem.
i have approximately 400 separate worksheets across 8 files with these
fault trees drawn. i hope there is some kind of fix for this problem
soon...
i appreciate any suggestions-
thanks
