Excel Spreadsheet into a Drawing

[bigmac]

I'm trying to insert an Excel Spreadsheet into a drawing. I can insert thespreadsheet by doing Insert/Object/Create form file/Browse and pick the file, but the table comes in very large with thenumbers overlapping. I can grab the corners and drag the table so I can read the numbers, but the table is larger than my drawing,(B size). The table size is only 4 colums x 5 rows with arial 10pt font. Is there a .dtl file setting that needs to be changed to control the size of the table? Any other suggestions? I'm using WF M160 and Ilink 3.3. TIA for your help.

I have been trying to get this to work too. I have problems with the spreadsheet not printing. I also have problem with gettingit to show upon the drawing. I have to change my background color to get it toshow.

i worked at company that has done this for years there were always column and row size limits we dealt with and therewas another trick to sizing it after you bring it in.


first is obvious drag a corner to fitit in title block second was double clicking it to edit it third was dependent on how far in or out you were zoomed in when you double click will change the way it reacts when close out of it really was just a learning curve to it


best of luck
