Bug in printing graphs with trend lines in Excel 2003
"Lennart Huizing" <lennarthuizing[ at ]gmail.com> 11.08.2006 09:44:54
Hi All,

I seem to have found a bug in Excel 2003 when printing a graph with
trend lines. I made a scatter plot of some data and added two linear
trend lines. They were plotted seemingly correctly on screen. The trend
was slowly downward, but neither trend line reached a value of 0 in the
graph. When I printed the graph, however, both trend lines suddenly do
cross the 0! I checked on the basis of the formula calculated and
(assuming those are correct) the print is definitely bad. I made
several prints and print examples, and each had the false trend line
values. I restarted Excel, and it did not help. Even when I copied the
graph into Word, it displayed the wrong version.

I'm sending this using Google, no other option right now, so I'm unable
to attach the documents as proof, but I would like to report this bug
to Microsoft, because I need that print to come out correctly. Can
someone here tell me where to report this bug?

Thanks,
Lennart Huizing
