For you Excel gurus, or those who may have seen this issue before. I couldn't find another forum here that seemed more appropriate for this question, and Google has been no help on this question, so here goes.
I have been using a custom Excel workbook to create PPAP documentation for several years. When Ballooning a drawing, I will often (but not always) convert the original drawing file to JPEG, import the image to a work sheet within the PPAP workbook, and then use autoshapes & text boxes to number the characteristics.
For some reason this particular one will print the autoshapes & text boxes, but the JPEG image refuses to render (see attached).
* Everything looks fine in print preview.
* The "print object" box is checked in image properties.
* Moving the worksheet to a separate workbook does nothing to help.
* Converting to PDF (rather than printing) produces the same result.
* 4 different computers have produced the same result.
I have already worked around the issue by using the "pen & ink" method, but you know how we Quality people are... just solving the problem isn't enough - I want to know why it was broke in the first place.
Thanks in advance, everybody.
