OK, have had a dig around in the Excel help files and I see what you are after but do not see why you would wish to handle this type of thing from with HSSF.
Languages can be handled by the encoding and I would have expected that if a user opens a workbook using Excel and that installation of Excel is correctly enabled and updated, it will automatically diplay the data correctly. In most things referred to by the help file in Excel that I have seems to relate to machine or installations specific options - to quote 'Rihght-to-left Refers to keyboard settings, document views, user interface objects and the dircetion in which text is displayed...'. All of that, I would have thought, with the possible exception of the alignment of characters within a cell, is outside of HSSF's control. I could though be very wrong. --- Behrang Saeedzadeh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As to right to left, well instead of starting at > > column 0 and adding to the column number, simply > start > > at the furthest right column your code determines > is > > necessary and decrement the column number to move > > left. > > But this is not RTL!
