    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2334?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17566#action_17566 ] 

Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-2334:
-----------------------------------------

Andreas, 

So a 3D cube would be a rectangular region except extended in 3 dimensions? 

Patrick

Would:

"A reference specifies a cuboid consisting of one or more cells. Such a set of cells may be referred to as a range." 

Do we need to say something more specific about our use of cuboid? I did look it up in Wikipedia and note there are incompatible definitions of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

Thanks!

Patrick

> "A reference refers to a cuboid of cells called a range. A special case is a single cell reference, a reference to a single cell."
> Rather:
> "A reference specifies a contiguous set of one or more cells. Such as set of cells may be referred to as a range."
> I am assuming that "cuboid" was used to indicate that a reference can refer only to a contiguous range of cells.
