Formatting of Cell Comments within XML-Files

S

Stefan Froehlich

I generate an Excel file from a templating system, thus I go with
XML. This works pretty fine, with one notable exception: I have not
yet figured out how to format cell comments:

| <Cell>
| <Data ss:Type="String">this is the content</Data>
| <Comment><ss:Data>this is a comment</ss:Data></Comment>
| </Cell>

If I write a comment in Excel and save the worksheet in native xls
format, the size and position of the comment are saved. If I construct
an XML file with the same contents, I can't find any tag or property
to set either size or position of the comment field. This is _very_
annoying for larger comments, as most of the text is hidden, and the
user has to manually resize each and every field.

Is there any help?

Bye,
Stefan
