my text over 255 chars long gets truncated.the manual says there is a 255 char limit with write_string() .why is this and is there a way around it? adrian I believe that Spreadsheet_Writer_Excel writer creates excel documents in the Excel 5.0/95 format, this format has the 255 char limit. So the only way i know to get around that is to generate files in the Excel 2000/XP format and im guessing thats thats a really big deal.
