Gridlines in Print Preview not in sync with normal view

I have made the Project Start date a red solid line and the status date a
blue dashed line. They look fine (in the right place time-wise) in the
graphic view, but when I look at Print Preview as well as print it out in
color, the lines are on top of each other or far to the left (have some
actuals) of where they should be or don't even show. I know I have the latest
and right print drivers for the Xerox 7300 Color printer. I even tried a
different printer and still the same problem. Anyone have this problem?

Did you generate the lines for Start Date and Status Date using
Format\Gridlines... or did you draw it?

Check the dates under File/Print... to see what dates you are actually
printing ...
Look in the Time Scale section, it will either be "All" or a date range.

It is possible your dates ranges do not match from the screen view to the
print view.

And your version of MS Project is???

I am using MSP 2003. The lines are generated via Format/Gridlines. As I said
they look fine in the screen view, just not the Print Preview or Printed
copy. It doesn't seem to make any difference as far as All or Date Range. I
pretty much always use Date Range. Perhaps the file is corrupted. At first
I thought it was a software or print driver issue, but upon bringing up some
other projects, there doesn't seem to be a problem. I did not generate the
problem project myself. It was given to me via email. When I saved the file
for the first time, it said it was in MSP 98 version, do I want to save it in
MSP 2003?, which I did of course.
