Limitations with the Excel Writer

[John Bishai]

Hello,
I think I've pushed the Excel Writer to its limits. I am getting over 32000 counts which seems to be
beyond the limitation of what can be handled. As a result, I get the following message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Row out of range: -32768
 at ij.measure.ResultsTable.getRowAsString(Unknown Source)
 at ExcelInterface.SaveToExcel.writeRsTable(SaveToExcel.java:156)
 at Excel_Writer.run(Excel_Writer.java:28)
 at ij.IJ.runUserPlugIn(Unknown Source)
 at ij.IJ.runPlugIn(Unknown Source)
 at ij.Executer.runPlugIn(Unknown Source)
 at ij.Executer.runCommand(Unknown Source)
 at ij.Executer.run(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:552)

Is there any way around this glitch?

Thanks,
John

Right click on the Results window (control click on the Mac), select
"Save As" from the drop down menu, and change the suggested extension
from .txt to .xls.
