With Excel, you can integrate pictures into your document. However, once the picture has been integrated, it often does not stay in the intended place. As soon as you insert lines or re-sort the table, the inserted picture moves and then has to be repositioned manually. By taking the right steps beforehand, you can prevent this problem and ensure that all your pictures in Excel stay in the right place.
First, select the picture that you want to use and save it as usual. Then proceed as follows:
The corresponding picture is now in the table, but it is neither the right size nor in the right place.
With Microsoft 365, you can use the latest versions of Excel, Word and all other Office applications on up to five different devices. 1 TB cloud storage provides the necessary space needed for all your documents.
For the next step, you will position the picture and make sure that it fits in well. To do this, click on the picture and drag the corners until it fits into the cell that you want it to. If you want to keep the picture in its original size, change the size of the lines and columns instead. You can also move and adjust the picture as you like. If you keep the “Alt” button pressed during the positioning, the picture will automatically be aligned with the table lines and will no longer hover over the table.
You can now insert a picture in Excel, but the problem of it moving remains.
If you make any modifications to the table now, the picture in Excel will be adjusted to the formatting and will remain locked to the corresponding cell. If you re-sort the table now, the picture and cell will remain locked to each other. So if you change the size of the cell, for example, the picture will change with it. If you do not want this to happen, select the option “Move but don’t size with cells”. With this option, the picture in Excel is locked to the cell position but will not be affected by any changes made to the size of the cell. The third option, “Don’t move or size with cells”, means that the picture will not be locked to a cell.
If you want to save Excel documents in a central and secure location, HiDrive Cloud Storage is the best option. With it, you can share and edit your documents in a secure online cloud.
You can insert a picture in Excel and choose whether it should be locked or remain freely movable. The modifications in Excel are retained, even if you convert the document from Excel to PDF. Most Excel alternatives also give you the option to insert the picture in a cell and lock it, just like in Excel.
