Thumbs up Answer: Image distortion during printing and preview

Yes, I can help you with that. It sounds like the issue might be related to the scaling options in Excel. Here are some steps you can try to fix the image distortion issue:
  1. Select the image in your Excel worksheet.
  2. Go to the "Format" tab in the ribbon.
  3. Click on the "Size" dropdown menu and select "Size and Properties".
  4. In the "Size and Properties" dialog box, make sure that the "Lock aspect ratio" checkbox is checked.
  5. Check the current dimensions of the image and make sure they match the original dimensions of the image file.
  6. If the dimensions are not correct, adjust them manually to match the original dimensions.
  7. Close the "Size and Properties" dialog box.
  8. Go to the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  9. Click on the "Size" dropdown menu and select "More Paper Sizes".
  10. In the "Page Setup" dialog box, make sure that the "Scaling" option is set to "No Scaling".
  11. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
  12. Check the image in Print Preview or print it out to see if the distortion issue has been resolved.

If the above steps don't work, you can also try resizing the image outside of Excel using an image editing software and then inserting it into Excel again. This may help to ensure that the image is properly sized and formatted for printing.
