Sorry about that, can you let me know what messages you are receiving at
compile/run time please.

The real problem I face in helping you out is that I do not have access to
many - indeed to any whilst I am at work - OpenXML files. So, I will try to
put together some code that should work for both HSSF and XSSF (using the
ss.usermodel interfaces). I can only really test it with a binary file and
will have to ask you to test it against an OpenXML file yourself.

Will try to get something to you in an hour or so - work allowing!!
