PRJ: Drawing Objects Change Position When Printed
This article was previously published under Q113489
In Microsoft Project, when you view a drawing object in print preview or
when you print it, the size and location of the object may be different from the size and location of the object in the original project.
When you print objects that were drawn on the Gantt Chart using the drawing tools, Microsoft Project tries to maintain the position of the object relative to several factors. One of these factors is the object's relative location in the timescale.
When you print a project, Microsoft Project has the ability to adjust the
Timescale Enlarge percentage so that the tasks in the project finish on a page break. This adjustment may cause objects drawn on the Gantt Chart to be moved relative to other objects.
You can turn off the
Fit Timescale To Page option in
Page Setup. To do this, choose
Page Setup from the
File menu and select the
View tab. Clear the
Fit Timescale To Page check box.
Clearing this check box will keep Microsoft Project from adjusting the
timescale when you print the project. Note, however, that you may still
need to adjust the objects to place them correctly.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
