Description Morten Welinder 2005-05-06 19:38:18 UTC 
Test case coming up.

Cells in B & D columns are left-adjusted, yet when exported to xls and viewed
in XL, the do not align on the left side.

Ditto F & H, except that these are right-aligned.

Furthermore, D and H look really, really weird: vertical text with upright
characters.

Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2005-05-06 19:41:32 UTC 
Note, that gnumeric imports the file correctly from xls.

Note, that XL presents different vertical alignment choices for B2 and D2,
for example.
Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2005-05-10 03:16:51 UTC 
We use -1 to store vertical text (unsupported yet) and 0..359 for the rotation.
The fmt dialog was using +/-90

I added a mapping in the xml importers and tweaked the dialog.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2005-05-10 03:26:43 UTC 
ok, I think I will need to have a word with the drawing code after this.
