Copying a Table as a picture without extra Columns

Hello, 

I recently got a new computer at work. The new computer has Microsoft Office 2016 and Windows 10. I recently noticed that the settings I had on my old computer are different on this computer. For example, when I copy a table in excel and paste the table as a picture. The table picture includes blank columns that I did not copy. To correct the picture I simply must crop the picture. This is annoying and something I have never had to do before my computer upgrade. I have sent the excel table to my colleagues to see if they encounter the same problem on their computer. They do not. 

My assumption is that there is a setting, in my new Microsoft Office suite, that is selected or not selected to cause this issue with pasting a table. 

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

    Paste the image in Paint and Save it. You will see there is image icon in this broswer's box. Press that and image will come through.

    It will not allow me to copy the picture into this chat. How else can I share this with you?

    The same thing happens when I paste a picture of the Table in Excel, Word or Powerpoint.
