Hi, this may be an answer to Shuli Zhou and Shinya Koizumi.
In short, "Drucktitel" is the (German) reserved name of the 'named range' (I don't exactly know how this is officially called in POI object model) containing the 'repeating rows & cols' of one sheet for printing. This is not to confuse with 'freeze pane', which basically serves the same purpose when viewing a sheet in 'edit mode'. Similarly, there is another reserved name in German Excel versions called "Druckbereich" which means the 'named range' effectively printed (by default: All cells with any content). I did not experience the described behaviour before, but the difference between opening the sheet directly on German platform and opening it on enUS platform before is explainable: Internally this 'named range' has no visible name but some identifier which is automatically transferred to the localized name when the sheet is opened on some localized platform. The same holds for placeholders (or call them variables) in the header/footer sections of a sheet denoting "number of the current page" or "total page number" which is internally "&P" resp. "&N", but on german platform it shows up as "[Seite]" resp. "[Seiten]". Thus you eventually should not give any 'nameable' object a name identically to reserved object names used in the localized target platform versions except for their by-design purposes. hth, Christian Gosch inovex GmbH On Monday, October 24, 2005 10:57 PM [GMT+1=CET], Shuli Zhou/schedule <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Our application uses POI HSSF to export excel workbooks to clients.
