APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Office Excel 2007



SYMPTOMS

After you insert a shape into a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbook, the shape does not appear to be the specified size. Additionally, the shape does not appear in the specified location. This problem occurs when the zoom is set to a value that is less than 100%.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, set the zoom to 100% before you insert or modify a shape.

You can modify scripts so that the script sets the zoom to 100% before the script inserts or modifies a shape. You can also modify scripts so that the scripts reset the zoom to the original value after the shape is inserted or modified.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
