Thanks for the information. I seem to remember that I read that somewhere on the HWPF web pages but would not have expected that there's so little activity on HWPF compared to the big work and interest on HSSF. [DOP size...] >Sounds like you know more about the word file format than most of us do. >Don't suppose you fancy contributing some patches? :) I'm not sure whether my brain is happy with word file format knowledge or not... (Sometimes its definitely not...) Anyway, providing patches would surely be interesting. I'll stick my head out of my box when time is ready for patches :-) (Now climbing back into my box brooding over word format.)
