This is quite OK and causes no unpredictable results. If you try inputting e.g. 1e150 with Origin 5.0 you wil notice that there is a bug (1e-106 is shown instad of the missing value -) caused probably by exponent overflow. This is particulary annoying when high precision data is imported to Origin: some very small values may be changed to extremely large ones. <br> [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
