It seems odd that I haven't stumbled into this before and I am sure I am 
doing something wrong, I just can't seem to find a better way around the issue 
of working with small numbers.

   Suppose I want to multiply two small numbers such as: 1.23456e-41 * 1e-20.  
Unless I am happy with a result of 0, I have to use a really odd numberFormat 
statement such as:

  set the numberformat to "0.##########...############" where " …" represents 
sixty or so '#'

This seems really odd.  Surely there is a better way to do this.  Can someone 
help?

Thanks,
John
