What cad package are you exporting from?
What kind of file are you exporting to?

From AutoCAD, select what you want to copy. Make sure you are zoomed in, as when you copy, it somehow is reflected in the copy..
I simply pressed CTRL+C, opened "paint" and pressed CTRL+V. If you have a black background in AutoCAD, paint allows you to invert colors. Once you get it zoomed to the size you want, save it as a bmp., then simply import it into Excel from the "Insert-From File" option within Excel (or something like that)

If you are using ACAD, then make sure your background color is white.
You can also paste into Word, InDesign, and Photoshop.

When I Choose control Alt PrtScn no duplicate comes up. And when I go to Excel (or Word) and press Ctrl +V. Everthing that was on the monitor is pasted.
The same thing happens if I start with PrtScrn ( ie with no Alt.)
I use Cad 2004 ...would that be the difference?

- You select the area you want to copy, so you can paste straight into the destination package.
- You can save the clip as a jpg, gif, png, or mht (single file HTML), rather than a very bulky bmp.

So I paste it into Paint, and copy just the part I want.
... which if faint memory serves, comes in with an undesirable insertion point that causes odd behaviors in Excel, so I go to the trouble of clearing Paint's field, shrinking the field, and pasting the clipboard so the insertion point is at the u/l corner of the image. I usually save that image as a .bmp file for fun, copy once more, and _then_ paste. The .bmp file allows me to open and edit the image later.
