I have an excel file that uses a unique font type to convert a raw value such as {ABCDEF|123456} to a bar code image.
I need to send the file to a machine that does not have adequate permissions to install this custom font.
Is there a way to keep this font type as an image within Excel? Or to keep the font output without the font installed on the current machine?
While I have found that using Copy as Picture => Appearance: "As Shown on Screen" works manually, I can't seem to get the VBA code to work well with this as I have to do this thousands of time in a single file.
All you need is to copy and paste a bitmap over a cell, not a vector:
Range("F1").Select
Selection.CopyPicture Format:=xlBitmap
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Bitmap"

I created a logo in Publisher.
Using TechSmith Snagit, I captured the image and saved as a JPEG.
I fetched the image inside of Excel and placed it in a properly sized cell(s)
I don't want to have a file that has the image (have seen in researching some solutions) -- Nevertheless, everything must be self-contained in my Excel vba Application.
Excel (2013) has a tendency to either erase the image or it creeps when the app is opened on other displays. (And it does this with ActiveX Controls, too)
So... a friend wrote code that stretches or centers ActiveX Controls inside cells. Works brilliantly, except I want to apply the code to the Picture (say Picture 12) ... the Logo ...
If I could convert the Picture into an Object (similar to a CommandButton or a SpinButton, I think the code would work.
My work around had been to insert the logo as a BitMap into a CommandButton, and then apply the stretching code to the button... BUT I have image size limitations and the Bitmap is of low resolution, which makes my beautiful logo look terrible.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
maybe use base64

I want to attach a different image for different cells. SO far I am doing by attach the image via ("link"). I am facing some problem that whenever I try to send file I have to send the corrsponding path file . But sometimes its annoying that folders will be erased or moved . Can anyone give me an valuable suggestions, that I can save all my image in the file(excel) , whereas I can send only the excel sheet, when some one click the cell , corrosponding image boot from the cell(excel).
Is it possiible in excel, if it so please give me the instruction.
thanks in advance
The easiest way to do this is to save your file in older format, for example in Excel 97-2003. By default newer formats keep links, not pictures.
If you insert pictures via a macro, use something like the following:
Cells(1,1).AddPicture(FileName:="C:\1.jpg", SaveWithDocument:=True)
If you are using "insert picture" method via the insert tab in excel, within "insert picture" window you can choose "insert" at the bottom of the window. i'm not too sure how exactly it is called in English, but my translation is pretty close to what it might be.
I have an excel sheet with too many columns, so when I save it as a PDF the file its in too many pages and its not easy to read . I need to save the sheet as pdf but before I want to change its orientation to horizontal so I can read the pdf with no problem. Is the same you can do when you print but I want it when I save an excel file as pdf.
Is there any option I can choose?
I dont mind if someone gives me a code for a macro using my selection as an object.
Under the "Page Layout" tab, click the "Orientation" option and then select "Landscape."
Then create your PDF as usual.
You can save Excel files in PDF, even without using Excel. I use a program Universal Document Converter (http://www.print-driver.com/how-to/save-excel-as-pdf). This program allows you to quickly and easily create print-ready PDF-files on the basis of the original spreadsheets Excel.
In powerpoint 2010 I want to save an inserted textbox as a picture, which is simply done by right-clicking on the text box and save it. The saved image will however include a large amount of transparancy around the text. I am wondering whether this abundance of transparency around the text can be reduced, whithout using photo-editing programs.
I understand that powerpoint is not the right tool to use the beautifuly created texts for other purposes aside from office itself, however this would make things ten times easier for some coworkers of mine.
I hope someone can help me with this, also if it means using VBA or other (complex) codes/languages.
Thnx for your time.
Mike
Once you have typed your text in the textbox,
Copy the text box, right-click and paste as image
Now you have the image of the text box as you will get while saving that textbox as image - - using the save_as_image option
Select this image and click on format tab
You have an option to crop your image
Crop the image and save it as a picture
I am creating an excel report from vb.net. Now it works. But i realize that the apparent does not make sense. I just want enlarge some font size and change font name plus setting up the page to fit my receipt printer (Epson TM-T88IV).
what should i do ?
thanks in advance
First manually set everything up bit by bit until it all fits nicely on your receipt printer.
Once you have everything just the way you want:
Generate a new, plain copy of the report.
Start recording a macro
Manually replicate the changes that you did in your practice sheet onto your macro recording sheet.
Stop recording the Macro, and press Alt-F11 to get to the VB that was generated.
Use the relevant lines of the generated macro to see what you need to add to your report generation code.
