Image quality distorted after installing office 2007 update KB969682

Question

Hello All,

I have found some image quality issues in my Excel output after installing this update.

 

Following are details of my problem:

Scenario Before installing the KB969682 Update:

I have an Excel file with a sheet that contains chart/image objects and some cell values that overlap each together.

I programmatically (using a macro) copy this entire range selection, and paste as picture into another sheet. Here it works perfectly, i.e. quality and alignment of new image matches the original selection.

After installing the Update:

The quality as well as alignment of new image does not match the original selection. The line chart’s line width is much thicker in copied picture as compared to the original chart. There are some alignment issues as well.

After uninstalling this update it works fine again.

 

This problem is not documented in the update details. There’s a very similar symptom however.

May I know the problem with this update, and the solution, if any?

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Shivaling
