MapPoint 2010 Printing
GerryC
I'm using scaled circles to indicate memberships in each city. There are
three ranges in the legend: 1600, 40, 1. MapPoint picked a continuous
logorithmic scaling. The problem is that the 1600 value prints "1,6..."
rather than "1,600". The other values print correctly. The screen display
shows the correct values. And this happens whether I print hardcopy, or a pdf
file version.
I'm running this under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a quad-core machine
with 8GB of memory. I've also seen this same thing occur on a Windows Vista
32-bit and a Windows 7 32-bit installation.
Has anyone seen this happen? Seems like a printing bug in MapPoint 2010
under Win 7. I can force a correct print if I replace the trailing zeros with
non-zero values. Almost acts like there is a limit cell width for the value.

For anyone reading this who doesn't read mapforums.com, Gerry's problem
was due to the legend width changing. Different devices have different
fonts and hence the legend (which is set by the title's width) changes
width. This explains why the screen was okay but PDF was not. Gerry
fixed the problem by making the dataset title longer - so forcing the
legend to be printed wider - giving space for full non-truncated numbers.
