I frequently access Excel on my office desktop using MS Remote Access through my HP Elitebook. I often take an Excel display of numbers and incorporate that in either a Word doc, insert an Excel table in a Word doc or copy and paste an image of the numbers display in an email, all of this remotely controlled by my Elitebook. When I view the Excel in the native Excel shell, my font looks normal. However, when I then incorporate the figures displayed as mentioned, the word processing handling apparently modifies the quality of the font to something I would never use: the font expands, the kerf between letters is practically non-existent and the quality of the font is highly granular. It is nearly impossible to read. Yet, when I verify the font, this requires being in the Excel shell and so, naturally, it displays properly and gives me the font I'm trying to use. I'd first thought that the remote access is modifying the graphic quality on to the display due to the simple fact that this is a display result, but that the actual product (Word doc or email) was being delivered with the higher quality font. However, when I remotely send this very low quality product to myself and access it on my Elitebook or on my desktop, it is the ugly font I see. Testing if the font is indeed being modified when administered remotely, I performed the very same cut and paste (or imbedded Excel table in a Word doc) on my native desktop, sent to myself accesses both on my Elitebook and the selfsame desktop, and the quality of the number display is crisp and clean just as I expect.

Clearly the function of incorporating and excel number display into a document (cut and paste, imbedded excel table) whether it is Word or the email client, the act of doing so produces a very low quality font to be displayed.

This is too deep for me to try to figure out, too many variables involved. Anyone want to take a shot at this?
