Formatting issues while printing a colormap on Word or Ppt

Hello All,

I have matlab code which processes raw data and generates a report with plots in Word or Excel. The plots are in form of colormaps. When the code is running the resolution of the colormap looks fine in .fig format. But when it prints the plot on word/ppt the format changes. See the picture below ( white dotted vertical lines). Has anyone experienced this issue ? and what is the solution?

Can you post your code? At least the part where it prints.

        hold off %Resets axes properties to their defaults before drawing new plots
