Remarks
The normal font for Excel 2003 (and prior) files is 10pt Arial. The normal font for Excel 2007 and later is Calibri 11pt. Both of these fonts have a 7 pixel character width, which is about 5.25 points (for a 96-dpi screen). The default StandardWidthInChars
is 8.43 characters, or about 44.25 points.
Because font sizes and point values don't always convert cleanly, you should expect some small error (usually less than a point) when using this property in conjunction with StandardWidth
.
