------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 22 07:12:00 -0800 2005 ------- Some nations (mainly These United States) are still using Feet and Inches for measuring. As a Contractor and a Truss Manufacturer we have need of using such measurements. Need: To be able to format cells to both of these ways of displaying the data 1st: Feet (space) Inches (space) fractions 57' 11-1/4" ... Note the rounding on the frations needs to be intelligent 64th, 32nd, 16th, 8th, quarter, half ....I see that the current rounding is such that one could end up with 4/9 and 17/57 which isn't very useful to a contractor. The rounding needs to happen in the FORMAT of the cell. 2nd: In many wood truss designing software and other construction software we us the format of FEET-INCH-SIXTEENTH FF-II-SS like 57-11-04 it looks like a date format but read 57 feet 11 inches and 4 sixteenths. We use this method most because it is easier to type and to format the date consistantly. But both formats are needed. Thank You.
