How do I copy a picture from Paint to a specific cell in Excel?

[tgw4]

When I copy a picture from Paint to Excel, it always goes to the top of the
page. I want to copy it into a specific cell.

To start with, you cannot insert an object like a picture "into a cell".

Objects float on top of cells so you "insert" the picture into the worksheet.

Are you just copying and pasting the picture from Paint?

Save the picture then use Insert>Picture>From File

The top left corner of picture will be at the active cell, which is the cell you
selected before inserting.
