Naturally; but it still doesn't explain why the limits are hard- coded. If someone's happy to put up with a slow response and needs an outsize matrix, why not? With dynamic limits, someone needing only a small spreadsheet would still get their blazing fast response (and anyway, I strongly assume OOo will keep track of the highest occupied cells anyway, because you don't want to scan a million cells just to update the top left half-dozen! So why shouldn't the size be allowed to expand as needed?) Kind of breaks the "nought - one - infinity" rule, no? -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
