The information in this article applies to:
When you add an AutoShape object or an image to a Graph 97 object while you are editing it, it appears to shift when you return to one of the Office applications listed at the beginning of this article.
The behavior occurs when you edit a Graph object at less than 100% zoom. When you edit the graph object, it shrinks slightly. When you exit Microsoft Graph, the graph enlarges slightly. OfficeArt objects (including AutoShape objects) which you add to the graph do not shrink and grow. As a result, they appear to change position with respect to the graph, but instead the graph is changing. This problem is less obvious when you place the AutoShape object in the center of the graph versus at the edge of the graph.
This behavior does not occur if your zoom percentage is 100% before you edit your Graph 97 object.
To correct the placement of shifted AutoShapes, use the following steps:
1. Change the zoom percentage to 100%.
2. Double-click the graph object.
3. Move the AutoShape object or image to the correct location.
4. Click outside the graph.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
