Excel Chart Print Incomplete

Question

I am trying to print a chart I created in Excel (Office 365, Windows 10, Chrome Browser).  When I get to the print preview there are some elements of the chart missing (one of four text boxes, two lines that I have drawn).  The elements are present on the worksheet but not on the print preview or printed document.

Answer 1

I did as you suggested and even restarted the computer after changing the default printer.  This did not resolve the problem.

I was able to work around the issue by copying and pasting the chart to another app and printing.

So, I really do quit.  It just reinforces my frustration towards complicated apps where we waste more time working through it and lose whatever productivity benefit we get from using it.

Answer 2

My guess: the missing items are not part of the chart but are merely sitting on top of it.

Chick on the chart, hold CTRL and click each item, right click and use the Group command.

If this fails either post the file to OneDrive (or similar file share site) then tell us the URL OR go to my website to get my email and send a copy to me.

best wishes

PS next time activate the chart (click on it) before drawing boxes etc. then all will automatically be grouped.

Answer 3

I found the properties as you suggested.  The "Print Object" box is checked on the two objects that are not showing on the print preview.  The objects still do not show up on the Print Preview.

Answer 4

Where do I find the "Size and Properties" dialogue box?  Thanks

Answer 5

Have you checked to make sure the Object Properties are set to Print?
