Import table into drawing

I've got a fairly large table in Excel that I'd like to import on to a drawing but don't want todo it usingInsert > Object. The insert object path creates a table on the drawing but it will not show up on the generated TIF I need for drawing release.


I thought that there was a way to import a text file into a drawing as a table if it had the right format. I seem to remember having to add something like "&t" before and after each table cell.


My search of this forum and the web in general did not turn up anything.


Thanks for your help.

ADD @[ AND @]
