Linked excel table text sizing

[JLH-TES]

I am trying to set up a portion of an excel file within AutoCAD Map 3D 2008 via a data link using the Insert Table function (new to AutoCAD). I have gone through the Table Style Dialogs and modified those for the wanted text style and size, etc. Yet when I insert the table, the text (and table) do not come in with the desired 2.5 text size but at a significantly smaller size (0.0972)? Scaling the whole table or pulling it about does not change the text size. Why is it not using the stated 2.5?

All items are also locked when it is inserted? Is there a setting to make unlocked the default?

It appears that as it currently is working that in order to get the desired results, i would have to individually unlock every cell (over 1000 thus not time efficient) and change the text size followed by resizing each column? (Inserting the old copy and paste method after every change would be quicker.)

Everything seems to be working with the exception that it is inserting at wrong size! Is there a setting or procedure that I need to change, does it not work as I am attempting to use it, what do I need to do to make it work accordingly?

When you specify the text height in the table style it's misleading, that is
the height of the cells. The cells are locked because you are linking to the
excel file.
