/**
 * Shows how various alignment options work.
 *
 * Modified by Cristian Petrula, Romania on May 26, 2010
 * New method was added centerAcrossSelection to center a column content over
 * one selection using {@link HorizontalAlignment#CENTER_SELECTION}
 * To create this method example was change for XSSF only and the previous
 * AligningCells.java example has been moved into the SS examples folder.
