Special Pasting Quattro Pro 9 File As Bitmap, How To Manipulate Now?

The only way I could find to get a Quattro Pro 9 file into Excel 2002, with gridlines and the exact diagram (property and house layout), was to copy and paste special it as a bitmap. Now that it’s in Excel, I’d like to change some things in the diagram but the cursor, when over the copied part, shows as a 4 sided arrow (a compass rose with 4 arrows pointing to the N,S,E, and W.) and the actual cursor arrow attached to and on the SE part of this 4-sided arrow. This 4 sided arrow cursor can only move the copied part and nothing else . When I move the cursor off the copied part, it reverts back to being a normal cursor and has normal functions. Am I stuck with this bitmap section, and should be looking for another way to successfully import this file, or is there a way to un-bitmap it and convert it to a regular usuable file/diagram. I’ve tried opening the Quattro Pro file into Excel but couldn’t get that to work. Any suggestions?
