+				<p>Sometimes, you'd like to just iterate over all the rows in
+				a sheet, or all the cells in a row. If you are using Java
+				5 or later, then this is especially handy, as it'll allow the
+				new foreach loop support to work.</p>
+				<p>Luckily, this is very easy. HSSFRow defines a 
+				<em>CellIterator</em> inner class to handle iterating over 
+				the cells (get one with a call to <em>row.cellIterator()</em>),
+				and HSSFSheet provides a <em>rowIterator()</em> method to
+				give an iterator over all the rows.</p>
