Default Excel Column Width Units


Rob,

I understand column widths in the Excel BIFF (xls) format to be in units
of the size of the character "0", and yes, quite oddball indeed.

My issue is in the Excel XML file format. For example, in Excel I set a
column to a size of 1.14 (26 pixels) and save it to XML. If I look at
the XML file in IE, the column has a width of 9.75. That is not pixels,
points, or units of character "0". What is it?

Thanks,
