I was recently asked to look at a problem a colleague was having with an
Excel spreadsheet where they wanted to use a drop down list in the cells

Well it’s been a little while since I posted my comparison of Microsoft Tag and QR Codes. In this post I noted that there was a strange 90° anti-clockwise when using the Microsoft Tag reader on my Samsung Omnia i900. Well I stumbled across the reason today whilst testing some Microsoft Tag print outs I had produced for an event.
