    pasted text as picture, rotated upside down the text becomes bold

    When I paste a cell of text as a picture and rotate it 180 degrees so it's upside down, the text in the picture becomes bold. Why? How do I get it to be not bold?

    thanks

    Why, don't know.

    Copy as bitmap rather than picture.
    If you want the picture to be linked to cell then you could use a shape instead, assuming all you want is the text.

    You don't paste as shape.

    Simply insert the shape and then via the formula bar the =A1
    or what ever cell you want to link to
