SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 97, when you print a worksheet that contains a picture, the picture appears to be zoomed in, on one quadrant of the printout.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:


 * You print a worksheet that contains an embedded picture such as a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) or Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file. -and-


 * You scanned the embedded picture into Windows using a scanner. -and-


 * The workbook was saved from Microsoft Excel 95 to Microsoft Excel 97 or Microsoft Excel 2000 format.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click (right-click) the embedded picture.
 * 2) Point to Grouping and click Ungroup.
 * 3) Click Yes when you receive the following message: This is an imported picture, not a group. If you convert it into a Microsoft Office drawing, embedded data or linking information will be lost. Do you want to convert the object?

The worksheet that contains the picture will now print correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
