Exporting a component to a spreadsheet is under Edit - Export to Spread in the PCB Library Editor (strange enough there is no way to inport a component....). The result is an Excel workbook (.xls) that contains all the primitives that the component is made of in a fairly self-explanatory format.
The problem could be with your preferences, although I could not find any setting that sets a preferred layer for component placement anywhere. My best guess is that the "Client99SE.cfg" somehow got corrupted. No idea how or why, but whenever I suffer from strange phenomena whilst using P99SE they disappear when I delete that file (while Protel isn't running, of course). You can also rename it to some other name just to have a way back out. Protel makes that file itself when it does not exist so Protel will start up again, but you will have to pay close attention to your settings as some of them might be reset to the defaults. I still haven't found out what exactly is in that file, anybody else have a clue?
