I used the BiffViewer to look at the file, but I'm not sure how to read what I am looking at. I can see many different kinds of style objects and a couple of cell objects, but am not sure how you know what cell has what style. Is there anywhere where there are instructions on how to read the output of the BiffViewer?
As shown in the code, the new cellStyle was created by cloning the cellStyle of the cell, modifying it, and setting the cellStyle of the cell to the newly modified clone. I don't remember what the original style of the cells were in the workbook attached to my first method. I am attaching a second workbook were I know that the original cellStyle of all the cells was the default, i.e. I did not modify the style before running the workbook through the program. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thank again in advance for your time.
