Picture in Excel printed size different

**dovetail** · 07-23-2011, 10:19 AM

Hello All

I am having a problem printing pictures in Excel.

When a picture sized, say, 5cm x 7cm in the document is printed, the actual size on the sheet of paper is different. Usually, the width is larger and the height is smaller.

Has anyone got a solution to this problem?

Please help!

Thanks for that.

I will look into this as a possibility and report back if it works!

Just tried this and it didn't work.

It would seem that all graphics in Excel do not print out at the size they are set to. I tried adding text boxes and rectangles and the same problem occured.

I think I will probably have to avoid these things in my Excel document, although it begs the question why Microsoft give you this option if it causes so much trouble!

Thanks anyway.
