In Microsoft Excel 2000, when you print or view a worksheet in Print Preview, and the worksheet contains a linked pasted picture, the output may be a different size than the size that you expect.

This behavior can occur when the following conditions are true:
- You copy cells and paste them as a picture that is linked to the copied cells.
-and-
- The printer that you are using has a default resolution other than 300 dots per inch (dpi).
-and-
- You change the resolution of the printer to a setting other than the
default print quality for that printer.

To work around this issue, paste the cells as a picture that is not linked to the cells. This issue is likely to occur only on printers with default resolutions that are greater than 300 dpi, or on printers with resolutions that are not based on 300 and 150 dpi.

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

If the default resolution of the printer is 600 dpi, and you change the
resolution to 1200 dpi (if this setting is available for the printer), the
printed picture may increase in size and be truncated. If you change the
resolution to 300 dpi, the printed picture may be smaller.
