Default Image distortion during printing and preview

Canlogy, I had this problem before, this seem to work in early versions of
excel, but not in 2007. Here is how I solved the issue:
1) Click on the image.
2) Hold down Shift and go to the Edit menu, then select Copy Picture.
3) Hit Paste.

I hope this helps.

Roger.

I have been inserting jpg images into Excel and while they look fine while I
am in the actual worksheet, the images get stretched to a small but noticable
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?


Just a couple thoughts.

Is the page itself being distorted when printing (i.e., by the print
setup options to keep output contained to x pages wide/tall)?

Try setting the image properties (right click) so it does not resize
with cells.


It doesn't *look* like the whole page is resizing (I can only tell the
images are distorted because they are pictures of faces, so they look broader
than normal). The pages are easily able to fit on one page. Does Excel
stretch the print area to fit the page?

The images are set to not resize with cells, still they are slightly
stretched.

I appreciate the time you took to reply, thanks!
