Default Help! Fix Excel's failure to print graphics in formatted dimension

Excel fails to print graphic objects in formatted dimensions. Graphics
created as 5 x 5 Circles are printed oblong measuring 5.25 wide by 4.87
tall.

To replicate this problem: In Excel, draw an oblong shape. Then right click
on shape to format, and on the size tab, set horizontal to 5" and vertical to
5". Then Print and measure.

Object when measured is oblong. Repeatable on every printer tried so far, so
conclude failure is within Excel code, not printer interface.

Other office programs using graphics exhibit same failure.
