Points, pixels, in, and fonts
It's not a simple one,
Sizing is done in POINTS. A point being 1/72 inch if memory serves me right but you'd best look it up. If you're looking for printed output where small variances won't be such a big problem then you should be fine. If you're looking for pixel-perfect screen results then you probably should look at other methods because trying to do it in Excel will be a world of pain. The conversion from that to pixels depends on various things such as:- * What scale size the view is set to. * A windows gdi+ function which handles the pt / px conversions. It's usually safe to assume 96dpi (dots per inch) but the display driver may provide other figures to be used for the calculation. * The version of excel you're using (as the margins may be slightly diferent). Ultimate answer is your mileage may vary. "ranswrt" wrote: Where can I get info on sizing rows and columns and font size in pixels and points, etc? Thanks |
