It was a bit puzzling to me, because of the fact that once a string is somewhere in the column the exponential number came out as is (I guess because then the table entry is no longer interpreted as a number but as a string). It was also confusing because HTML export is different and just puts out what is in the orgmode table. Maybe one should change the default of the variable to nil? Just a suggestion, as I said, my problem is solved. Thanks again gl
