From: Jon Peltier on 17 Apr 2010 14:22 As I replied in the programming group: Excel charting through 2003 was pretty reliable and the related interfaces were effective. Excel 2007 changed all that, unfortunately not for the better. I've experienced this problem when the chart had a lot of points close together. It's like the points have a larger envelope than just the visible marker, and one point's envelope may obscure the next point. I don't know how to avoid this problem. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ On 4/16/2010 2:13 PM, Kirill wrote: > Dear Ji Zhou, > > Ji Zhou wrote... >> Our managed newsgroup support team still supports the MSDN Subscribers in >> the managed newsgroup.
