Many html tables list height as x-yy where x is feet and yy is inches. Excel
imports this as a date. In looking at cell number formats there is no option
to display either a feet-inches 'number' or an inches number as x-yy. (I will
write up a separate item about Excel importing the feet and inches as dates.)
