Default Image distortion during printing and preview

I have been inserting jpg images into Excel and while they look fine while I

degree when I see them in Print Preview (or actually print them). The images
have had the aspect ratio locked. I am using Excel 2000.

Any ideas on this?



How many thousands of hours do people lose trying to find workarounds for issues like these??? Why hasn't Microsoft addressed this in the past 15 years??? Why are some posts so evidently disconnected from reality (suggesting to use another printer driver), when all it takes to reproduce this issue is to paste a circle shape on a sheet and print preview??? BTW, another printer driver does NOT fix this issue. In my case, copying and pasting did not fix the issue either.

If Microsoft actually cared, they could hire people that suggest fixes that actually work.

I finally found a good workaround here ...

Look for post #14 from Chinchilla. This guy nailed it.

I am stunned on how the web is littered with posts about Microsoft products not working as they should.
