Inserting Excel spreadsheets

I just upgraded from AutoCAD LT 2004 to 2006. The work that I have been doing requires that I insert Excel spreadsheets on all of my drawings. In 2004 it was quite easy to size the spreadsheet. When you pasted it AutoCAD LT would prompt me for a size which would get me close and then I could drag the corners to perfectly fit the spreadsheet. With 2006 it does not prompt me for a size AND dragging a corner is not as easy. Sometimes it will not let me drag it smaller. I then have to use the scale command. It just has been a bigger pain. Is there anyway to change this?

Describe your 'paste' process in detail: LT added tables and more since
2004, plus other features.

I simply highlight and copy the excel spreadsheet and use the paste command to paste it into AutoCAD LT.

When I insert it in the model (autoCad 2004 LT), it appears, but not when I do a print preview. What am I doing wrong?

It's either on the defpoints layer or a layer which you have said do not plot or it's colour is set to 255. For the layer problems change it to layer 0. For the colour problem change it to colour 7
