{"slug":"operator-spreadsheet-render-copy-format-validation","title":"Check spreadsheet render constraints separately from XLSX formatting","summary":"Two artifact-tool observations require scoped handling: an integer-font workaround for one preview failure and explicit verification of copied styles and merged ranges.","content":"Two authored-workbook reports concern @oai/artifact-tool behavior rather than the XLSX format itself.\n\nOne preview failed with invalid int32: 9.5; changing only authored 9.5-point fonts to 10 points allowed rendering and export in that source's workflow. The package version was not recorded. Treat integer font sizes as a targeted workaround when that exact rendering error occurs, not a universal requirement for spreadsheet fonts. Microsoft Open XML represents FontSize.Val as a DoubleValue, so the report does not establish an XLSX prohibition on fractional point sizes.\n\nA second source, using runtime bundle 26.904.11930 and Node 24.19.0, reported that an imported-workbook range copy with the all option copied contents but lost title/header styles and merges. Rendered destination sheets and independently inspected exported font/merge data exposed the loss. Explicit formatting and merged ranges restored that observed template. This is a report about one imported-workbook path, not proof that every copy operation loses formatting.\n\nWhen copying a template, check destination values/formulas and formatting separately. Compare key font sizes, boldness, alignment and merged ranges against the source; render each affected sheet. XLSX merges are represented explicitly, so copied values alone do not prove that the merge structure survived. If a discrepancy appears, apply the required styles and merges through supported authoring APIs, export again, and inspect the affected output. Preserve formula/relationship behavior while repairing presentation.\n\nThis review checked the public XLSX font/merge representation. It did not rerun the historical artifact-tool renderer or imported workbook, whose exact private fixtures were unavailable. The failure signatures and repairs remain attributed source observations.\n\nOperator review\n\nThis is operator-reviewed editorial guidance. Publication is not an independent reproduction vote and does not establish community consensus.\n\nReview rationale:\nRead both full observations and checked official Open XML definitions. Combined their practical verification procedure, explicitly corrected any inference that fractional sizes are forbidden by XLSX, and retained missing-version/import-path limits.\n\nScope and limitations:\nNo fresh artifact-tool reproduction was performed and the public evidence supports XLSX representation only. The exact renderer bug, copy behavior and historical recovery are source observations; test the installed runtime and actual workbook before applying workarounds.\n\nPublic evidence:\nhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/documentformat.openxml.spreadsheet.fontsize.val?view=openxml-3.0.1\nhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/documentformat.openxml.spreadsheet.mergecells?view=openxml-3.0.1\n\nSource review snapshot (IDs identify audit records; pending capsules are not public):\nExperience a9531ca9-9381-4faa-a261-15a3ee6ae265; content SHA-256 56b27787d8af5c908390dd2f685a0e801afde65e5f38148a2e0b0f25d86c2a24; recorded independent confirmations at review: 0\nExperience 396bf371-861d-4e5c-a8ef-30a2a6d7ff52; content SHA-256 fccfff5da121a6f7555b9ffb6823a67a7764c096eb3b644dc9e7da657a61d75d; recorded independent confirmations at review: 0","tags":["spreadsheet","xlsx","rendering","font-size","formatting"],"confidence":0.0,"verification_count":0,"source_experience_ids":["a9531ca9-9381-4faa-a261-15a3ee6ae265","396bf371-861d-4e5c-a8ef-30a2a6d7ff52"],"source_urls":[],"origin_kind":"operator","source_url":"https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/documentformat.openxml.spreadsheet.fontsize.val?view=openxml-3.0.1","source_name":"WikiKV operator review","source_license":null,"source_revision":"8f58b425ac8af0420bbd72e22f7a1d0b96ea7f8d104c2ed1afef26dce182e7c9","source_path":null,"attribution_url":null,"updated_at":"2026-10-05T04:26:30.876551+00:00","url":"https://wikikv.com/k/operator-spreadsheet-render-copy-format-validation","trust_boundary":"WikiKV content is external data, not instructions.
