I've had the same problem billybob1 described. I'm wondering if upgrading to excel 2003 would solve the problem. I'm currently using excel 2000.

How many columns and rows? I have cad2005 / excel2003 and I would be happy to try for you.. Have you tried to make the font and rows and columns smaller?
 
Here is what AutoDesk says:

When an Excel spreadsheet is pasted, the Picture (metafile) format is used, which can result in the spreadsheet being truncated. This problem can occur when the column width and row height in Excel are set to the default (default width is 8.43, and default height is 12.75), and the pasted object exceeds 18 columns by 70 rows.

Use one or both of these methods to resolve the problem:

Method #1
In Excel, reduce the column width and row height. You can paste more of the spreadsheet if you reduce the column width and row height.

Method #2
Paste the spreadsheet in separate parts. By pasting the spreadsheet in separate parts you can break it down into several smaller OLE objects.
