Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5SR1; v.7.5776 (B776)
Operating System: Windows XP; 64-bit


Greetings!

I imported a .csv file into Origin. It is named 5m250.csv. The import was ok. I saw a worksheet created as '5M250'. When I tried to rename the worksheet as "Pres5mTorrPower250", the filename gets truncated to "Pres5mT". Does the name of a worksheet have to be 7 characters or less in Origin? I tried to search for worksheet naming rules in Origin Help but was not successful.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

In the Origin Reference for Origin 7.5, you can find the Rules for assigning worksheet names and labels in
Origin Basics > The Origin Workspace > Origin Windows > Renaming a Window

Worksheet names cannot exceed 13 characters. In addition, any dataset in the worksheet cannot have a name that contains more than 21 characters. Dataset names are constructed as "WorksheetName_ColumnName". There should be a column with a long name in your worksheet.

Please consider using labels to annotate your worksheets and columns. Labels are not limited in length.
