We are using AutoCAD 2008 and using Spanner to insert excel into AutoCAD. Too many steps to insert a excel table into CAD.
And copy & paste has problems with the OLE.
Is there a better why to insert a excel table into CAD.
One CAD user is using Excel 2000 I have 2007 that I don’t like.
Is there a program out there or any help would be helpful.

Staring in AutoCAD 2008 AutoDesk made linking AutoCAD and Excel easier. I'm not sure why you're having so many problems. Was the drawing first done in a previous version?

Datalinks in AutoCAD 2008. One man's view.
