From: Matt Maycock Date: 2004-08-11T05:52:18+09:00 Subject: Spreadsheet/Excel default format I use the Daniel Berger's port of John McNamara's Excel module for Perl. Everything works great, but it seems that there is no `default' format - so cells (in Excel 2K) are black if they haven't been formatted - and have `no color' in the format dialog. I just format all around the area I'm using - but I was wondering if there is some method of describing a default format?
