Get attributes from blocks in AutoCad LT 2006

I'm not sure if anyone can help me or not because I know zero about AutoCad. We've got people using AutoCad LT 2006 and they have blocks that a consultant made for them a few years ago. They now wonder about taking the attributes from a block and putting that data into Excel. I know Excel but not AutoCad.

Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks very much!

I believe the command in LT is ATTEXT that you are looking for.

sshein, the Tools menu only had the choice of "Attribute Extraction," not Data Extraction (this is LT version). Within Attribute Extraction, there is no option to Create New. A pic of the dialog box is attached. Selecting either CDF or SDF requires the selection of a Template File, and I have no idea what to choose there.
