Image is blurred when imported, Help???

[tormar9496]

Hello,

 

I am new to the forum and new to using Paint.Net.  I work for a Transit Agency and I am creating new scheduling brochures along with maps.  I have attached an image of the brochure so that you can see what is going on.  I created the maps using Paint.Net. The schedule was created in Microsoft Excel.  When I tried to copy and paste it directly from Excel to Paint.net, it wouldn't allow me to do it.  So, what I did was take the Excel spreadsheet and copy/paste it to regular Microsoft Paint and saved it as a picture, then using Paint.net under layers tab / import image , it transferred it to my map, however if you look closely the wording is a little blurry and the column on the far right is really blurry. 

 

What am I doing wrong ?? and is there any way to fix this, or would there be an easier approach of transferring it to my map using Paint.net and by-passing Microsoft Paint ?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Regards, Grant

What version of Microsoft Office you have? 

From Excel you can save as a PDF and then open the document with Adobe Acrobat and save as a PNG image.

Or, what I've found works, select the area of the spreadsheet you want to copy, and then hit Ctrl+C to copy it. In Paint.net, push Ctrl+V to paste it. That should (hopefully) work.
