Hi Lynda, thank you for offering to help. If you found an issue with Apache POI, you should check the issue tracker first to see if this has already been reported. If not, create an issue yourself.
Provide a reproducible example. The next step would be to check out the source and build POI yourself. IMHO the easiest way to do so is fork Apache POI on Github. Make sure everything compiles and all tests pass. Then create a branch for your issue. Write a test case and add it to your branch. Now the build should fail. Try to fix the code and once the build runs without errors, make a pull request or attach a patch to your bug report and then ask for a review. Note that this is my personal, totally unofficial list of things I do when I have issues with any Open Source project I use, it’s neither official, nor Apache POI specific. Just let us know if you need any more specific help.
