--- Comment #19 from Darren Roberts <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Darren Roberts from comment #18) > But what happens when someone loads a file containing numbered bullets in a > TextBox? The other way to look at it is as I said in an earlier response the > getText method is a simple way to get the basic text out, for anything more > complicated the developer would need to parse the paragraphs manually which > means they have the headache of working this out for themselves anyway. > > I see no reason to exclude setBulletAutoNumber as that caters to the dev's > like me who are creating xlsx files with POI more than reading them. > > But since the current missing piece of information is how Excel calculates > the numbers, perhaps in the getText method instead of calulating (guessing) > what the number should be then we should just output something identifiable > like "[autonum] bullet text" or "? bullet text".

I'll try modifying the getText method to use these rules and see if that gets us any closer to Excel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
