Adding Images Into Your Spreadsheet

You can add an image to your spreadsheet one of several ways.

• If you create your image in AutoCAD, you can use the "copy" command in the "edit menu".  You may find it useful to resize the image window to include just what you want to copy before you actually execute the copy command. Executing the copy command puts the copy on the system clipboard.  From there you can use the paste command in Excel to past the image into your file.

Once you select the copy command, you then select all the drawing items that you want copied to the clipboard then complete the action by pressing the "Enter" key.

• If your image is a file on disk (JPEG or other image format), you can use Excels "Insert" menu, selecting the "Picture" command.

Once the image is in the file, you can resize it by selecting the image then drag the pick boxes that appear around the image.
