Excel 2000 data export is missing lines, adds horizontal cells
 

I'm linking Inventor (v. 10 or 11) (AutoCad) to Excel 2000. The data will
export from Excel to Inventor, but only the first few few lines export and
horizontal cells are added. I set the print area thinking that might affect
the export, but it doesn't.

I need to export anywhere from 5 to 15 lines, two columns of data. I need to
set-up a system that I can update data in Excel and link it to the Inventor
drawing as well as a Word 2000 doc.

Any suggestions?
