DDE to Excel

I read the DDE to Escel Technical letter posted on this site. When I tried it I was not able to connect the CX server to the PLC(i think thats what the problem is). I downloaded the latest version of the Cx-Server from the Omron site(1.7.2). I opened a Escel sheet. I opened my DDE Manager. I went and added a PLC. But I did not get the Network Label n the left of my screen. It only read Devices and Points. Under the Devices it only read New PLC1(that was what I added in the Add PLC step). I went on and added some points also. Then I did what it said in the technical letter(closed all the screens), I right clicked on the DDE Manager on the taskbar and under Project it still read only New, Open and Edit. there was nothing telling "Copy Points".Also I didn't get the screen for the Points Editor where it said Select All.

Can someone who has used it tell me what the problem is.

Thanks
