What were you trying to do?
Was trying to export a large spreadsheet from Xess to a text file.
What's wrong:
The text file that was exported truncated some of the digits in
my Xess file.
Example:
Let me first explain what you see on the screen. The value is 3.39e4.
On the screen, you see part of the first 3 and .39e4. When I exported
the file as text, the value I got was .39e4. I lost the first digit
even though you can see it when you look at the individual cell.
However, when I adjusted the column width to the size of the value in
the cell, the exported file turned out fine....
What should have happened:
The exported text file should have transfered all the digits in the cell
regardless of how many were visible to the user.
