When I open up an excel sheet that has been extracted from AutoCad 2006 to
Excel XP - SP3 the numbers are not useable. All #'s (not text) have an (')
in front of them, excel will not recognize the #'s for functions and will
not recognize the symbol for a find and replace command.

You should be able to Find and Replace those _'_ out, in Excel, and set
those cell formats to 'Number'

Find and replace does not work - even done a copy and paste to make sure the
symbol was exactly right.

This worked for the drawing I am on, any ideas why excel does this. I have
been on machines that work fine with excel files.
