    Question Automatically resize an inserted picture to match cell size

    Hello, I am pretty new to excel programming/messing around so I'll refer to those who are much wiser than I am. I am trying to set up a form for work, in this form I want to have a page with a bunch of cells pre-sized. What I want to do is when I insert a picture from a job site, that when this picture gets inserted, it will automatically resize to fit within the cell. I don't have time to manually resize dozens of pictures and if I could get this to work it would be awesome! I tried to search for an answer using the search function, but I kept getting a fatal error about allowable memory? Thanks in advance for you help!

    Re: Automatically resize an inserted picture to match cell size

    Images are objects and, though placed so as to appear to be "in" a cell, they actually exist (sort of) in a layer on top of the cell/worksheet.

    What you are asking may be possible, but is complex and not easily achieve (if it can be).

    Comments, though, are a part of a cell, follow the cell and can be manipulated, including adding a picture as the comment "fill". The comment/picture is easily viewed with just a mouse hover over the cell.

    Here are a couple of links you may find helpful in your task.

    Probably not, since it's been 12 years since the OP asked, but provide a link to your thread if you think it might help others, otherwise your post is useless. Thanks.

    You should not ask for help with your own questions in someone else's thread. Don't do that again, please. Sorry, I cannot help you.
