A bar style of vertical lines with horiz line top & bottom displays correct
but prints only the vertical lines.

Hi rdamphou,

Welcome to the Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

What does it look like in the Preview screen? Which version of Project are
you using? Please see FAQ Item: 44. Printing Problems

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on:)

Project 2007 SP1, Print Preview displays as expected. FAQ 44 no help.
Print to HP hardcopy or .pdf with Acrobat 8 yeilds same result. Tested on 3
different PCs with same Project installed - all results the same. Horizontal
lines still missing from bar style.

Well, as the FAQ says, if the preview is OK you must look outside Project.
Have you installed the latest printer driver?

Thanks for the help - but I mis-spoke. The print preview shows the exact
same problem as the print output. This has been tested on hard copy print
devices, Adobe Acrobat and PDF995. Tested on 3 different PCs with the same
results.
All 3 PCs (XP Pro SP2) have Procect Standard 2007 SP1 installed. 2 installs
were upgrades, 1 was a new installation - again exact same results.

I have tried some experimenting and I cannot reproduce your symptoms. Try a
new project with a single task and check print preview.
We need to discover whether your project is at fault or whether it is
Project at fault. Does the symptom occur with other projects on this PC?
Does it occur with other projects on other PCs?

New project - same result
Other PC - same result
New project, other PC - same result
Narrowed down to 'half height' shapes only - screen shots and files
availible if there is somewhere to put them.

Try turning off 3-D Gantt Display:

Tools / Options / View / Bars and Shapes in Gantt View in 3-D.

Any change ?

Found this earlier today, yes turning off 3-D Bar and Shapes does correct the
problem. This will be the work around for now. Thanks for the info.
