    Blurry images in comments (Excel 2007)

    Hi there,

    As part of my project I am working on an Excel spreadsheet containing many comments each of which has an image displayed within it.
    When I add an image it initially looks perfectly clear, however, as soon as I move the cursor away from the cell and hover back over it the image looks blurry.
    When I go to Edit Comment then resize the image it once again becomes perfectly clear but as soon as I move away from it it is back to its blurry state.

    I have searched the Internet and some people are suggesting disabling graphic acceleration.
    I have tried that but File-Excel Options-Advanced-Display does not have the option of enabling/disabling graphics acceleration as I have doublechecked already.

    This is causing me a lot of problems so any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance for any advice.

    Have a look and see if what you have is similar to the attached file.

    I just re-opened it from here and it works well for me - I clicked on 'Attachment 260283' and it opened perfectly and clear.

    So don't know what to say

    So don't know what to say
    I did manage to open it on another computer.
    I am not quite sure how can this help me as all I see are cells with comments and added images.

    In my case, I am embedding screenshots containing characters, numbers etc.
    As soon as I move the pointer away from the cell when I add an attachment the attachment itself becomes so blurry I can barely read characters or numbers.
    I could live with an image not being sharp but almost not being able to read characters and numbers is not helping me at all.

    Regards.

    I can only assume your images are of very low resolution and not good quality - in this case if you try to make them bigger they will be blurry and unclear. May I suggest you seek better quality images say from the internet,
