Circle changed to oval on printing
When I draw a perfect circle (I checked the size to make sure the width
equals to height), it looks OK on screen, but when I print it (or even on print preview), it changes to an oval, as if it is squeezed vertically. The same thing happens when I insert a circle from AutoCAD. My WORD program does not have this problem. Please help. |

Circle changed to oval on printing
Hi,
To make a perfect circle in Excel you 1. Click the Oval tool and then click a cell, no dragging 2. Click the Oval tool, hold down the Shift key and drag. If that is what you are doing then the most likely problem is related to your print drivers. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Jian" wrote: When I draw a perfect circle (I checked the size to make sure the width equals to height), it looks OK on screen, but when I print it (or even on print preview), it changes to an oval, as if it is squeezed vertically.

Circle changed to oval on printing
As I said, the circle IS perfect because I checked its width and height.
So my question is not about how to make a perfect circle, but why a perfect circle changes to oval when printing? "Shane Devenshire" wrote: Hi, To make a perfect circle in Excel you 1.

Because the printer does not maintain the aspect ratio. You must
compensate by creating an oval that when printed becomes a circle. Jian wrote: As I said, the circle IS perfect because I checked its width and height.
