Description Frederic Parrenin 2005-02-09 17:47:05 UTC 
- open the .xls file in gnumeric
=> the height for line 4 is 15.75
- save this file to foo.xls
- open it with XL
=> the height for line 4 is now 15
Note that the height is still 15.75 when opened by gnumeric.

Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2005-05-13 13:15:22 UTC 
When I load your sample file in gnumeric row 4 has height 21 pixels
loaded in XL-XP it has height 20.

Gnumeric's xls export does not seem to play a role.  The import code mentions
that we do not exactly understand the height speficications.  This test suggests
that XL may just truncate when mapping from pts -> pixels.

I'll need to write some test files to be sure.
