I can select a table in EXCEL, go to Autocad and select 'paste special'. I get no dialog box or have the oppurtunity to position the table, it always goes in to the upper left hand corner. I've also discovered that eeh OLE links option under the Edit menu is no active and when selected gives me a dialog box to update, open, change or break the link. I can open the excel file from this window. I cannot see it in the drawing. When I close and then reopen the drawing, I do not get an option as to whether I want the link updated, but it is stil there.
