Re: Printing to A1

Hi Rob,

Sorry but I don't quite follow. If I buy a product that does not deliver,
then does not the manufacturer have an obligation to fix? I realsie that now
there is project 2007, but that does not detract from the fact that the
original product does not work as designed and expected. If you buy a car
and the electronic ignition does not work properly but the new model does not
have this failign, is the answer now for the manufacturer to simply say
"sorry buy the latest car"?

Sorry but that argument does not work under most consumer legislatio nor any
prudent and responsible manufacturer.

Naw. I don't anticipate that Microsoft will fix this; nor do I
anticipate that the people/org who "locked" you into Project 2003 will
fix either. On the contrary I *expect* them to since they withhold from
me the ability to fix on my own.

Hi Rob,

Understand what you are saying. My guess is that in your part of the world
Microsoft are more customer friendly. My experience and I believe that of
our service people, is that Microsoft have a neat little filtering system
that places all the problems at the feet of the user or want to charge over
$300 for them to research out the problem.

Hence certainly my experience with Microsoft is one that says 'don't bother'
and we have to put up with yet again a faulty piece of microsoft software.

I was hoping that someone else may have found the same problem and knew of a
fix. It was a long shot, which I guess isn't paying off.

Thanks anyway

I know this is cheeky, but if a group in your company takes on the
responsiblity to "rollout" a standard version, then they take on the
responsibility to fix it. They surely have better connections to
Microsoft than this forum has.

No.

I need to work in 2003 as that is the 'rolled out' version at work. I only
have 2007 version so that I can convert schedules from a couple of
contractors who submit them in 2007 version. Yes we can ask for them to
convert, but reality is that it is quicker for me to convert so I can keep up
to date as soon as possible and not waste time going back and forth to get
the conversion done.

Is the solution to rely on 2007 rather than make 2003 work (which
appears not possible)?

For my part, the print preview does not show the A1 size at all. all that I
get is about 3 vertical bands of white with nothing showing. I then take a
punt and print it anyway and that is when I find the last two boxes are
missing the details.

As I mention, it only happens on the 2003 version. The same file opened in
2007 shows properly in print preview and prints out correctly.

Does the Print Preview using A1 or A0 look right before printing? What is
the position if you don't use PDF?

Hi David;

I have just tried this on my version of Project 2003 SP3 with similar
problems to yours.

Network diagram, PDF print preview to A3 is fine, but with A1 size, last
half dozen boxes on each page are empty. It is even worse at A0 size.

I'm not even using Adobe, but PDF reDirect.

As you say, it does point to being a Project issue.

Rgds,
Chas.
