Default Special Pasting Quattro Pro 9 file as bitmap, how to manipulate now?

The only way I could find to get a Quattro Pro 9 file into Excel 2002, with
gridlines and the exact diagram (property and house layout), was to copy and
paste special it as a bitmap. Now that it's in Excel, I'd like to change
some things in the diagram but the cursor, when over the copied part, shows
as a 4 sided arrow (a compass rose with 4 arrows pointing to the N,S,E, and
W.) and the actual cursor arrow attached to and on the SE part of this
4-sided arrow. This 4 sided arrow cursor can only move the copied part and
nothing else .
When I move the cursor off the copied part, it reverts back to being a
normal cursor and has normal functions.

Am I stuck with this bitmap section, and should be looking for another way
to successfully import this file, or is there a way to un-bitmap it and
convert it to a regular usuable file/diagram.

I've tried opening the Quattro Pro file into Excel but couldn't get that to
work.

Any suggestions?

jc
