Hi Andi,

Interesting code in the URL you mentioned. It was quite hard to follow
though...

I wasn't sure how I could use this for comments. Does Excel support
specifiying the width of a commnent in pixels and not in number of columns?
Is it just a limitation in POI or is it a limitation in Excel? If  Excel
supports it, I would love an API for this.

I don't need exact positioning but I need to be able to specify the size
(in my case the width) of the comment independent of the columns' widths.
