--- Comment #1 from Tamas <tsf...@gmail.com> ---
1. Open a spreadsheet and enter a 14 digit number in a cell. Since the default
column-width is probably less than 0.9-inch, the number format will
automatically switch to scientific notation.
2. Enlarge the column-width to twice its default size and enter three more
numbers under the previously entered number, 15, 16, and 17 digits long. The 17
digit number will automatically switch to scientific notation no matter how
wide your column is and the 16 digit number will change as soon as you format
it to “text”.
3. If the 16 or 17 digit numbers are now copied to a text file, it will copy in
the scientific format which is not the same as the original number that was
typed in the spreadsheet. As a matter of fact, the original number is lost
(unless you happen to remember it) because the scientific notation cannot be
converted back to long form beyond 16 digits.
