version issue while saving/updating an excel 2002 file

           Summary: version issue while saving/updating an excel 2002 file
           Product: POI
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mahesh.vannavada@equilend.com


When you create a new excel file using HSSF and open it with Excel 2002, excel 
prompts that the current excel file is saved using an older version and whether 
the user wants to save it in the older format. I was under the impression that 
the current version of the API supports excel 2002.

The problem becomes more acute in the situation when one is updating (adding 
rows or changing cell values or format) an existing excel 2002 file.
