Hi, MathGroup, recently, there was a thread "Exporting results from Mathematica to other applications" in this group, e.g. mg17737, mg17672. We learned from it, first to convert output cells to OutputForm using the ConvertTo command. Later one has to select and use Edit>Copy as>Text. If one does this with cells generated with Print, which also contain formatted numbers (e.g. generated with one or the other option of PaddedForm or 100*Round[#/100]& etc), the well formatted numbers are sometimes extended with insignificant digits and the proper formatting is gone. I have not yet found out, when exactly this happens, at least it is highly undesireable. Any idea, how to avoid around this (it happens in Matheamtica 3.0.1.1x, what about Mathematica 4)? kind regards Dipl.-Math. Adalbert Hanszen
