I have four charts on one worksheet. All are the same size, all have the
same small jpg image imbedded in the chart area. I have not adjusted the
sizing of the image, the chart or the rows or columns. When viewed in normal
mode, the image looks just fine. However, when print previewed or printed
the image in some of the charts will distort to about 1/6th its height.
Whats worse, is that this is intermittent (but very common) and which
chart(s) affected is different every time I print preview or print. It also
does not matter what printer I am sending it to.

Is this a known issue and are there any fixes?

I've had the issue under both curcumstances "Size with Chart" and "Do not
size with chart".

I can't help you directly with the issue but have you checked
msdn.microsoft.com and support.microsoft.com Maybe, one of them has
something on the subject.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
I've been in touch with Dell, Microsoft and 3rd party and so far no one has
been able to give me a solution.

Yes and no...i have had really good success using the "camera" feature to
report a chart in a different location of the workbook. This only works
correctly if i don't manually resize or move anything within the actual chart
(all my changes/modifications to the chart are basacially done through the
chart formatting menu).

But if i changed the size of the chart plot area by clicking and dragging
the sizing handles...then everything falls apart, as you might know
