You know. I never DID figure out what units those really were (I think the book is lying). It gave me fits in the serializer.. What I eventually did was just came up with magic number conversions for the serializer. Basically equations that work but I have no idea why, just guess and check until it worked. If you figure this out, lets write some convienience methods.
suggest HSSFSheet.saneUnitsToInsaneUnits() :-) Any inspriting thoughts Glen? >On Tue, 12 Mar 2002 12:12:55 -0500 "D.
