Many OBS applications save cells with long numbers in a loose scientific notation format, this means any cell with a float or double length number will be transformed into a relatively close but not correct scientific notation. When reading this file later if you attempt to use that number from the cell it will be completely different than what you actually put in it since it was saved with an incorrect scientific notation. The real number is saved as an office:value attribute attached to the table cell. If a office:value attribute is found on a cell we should use that value instead to avoid format bugs like long numbers.

Scientific Notation Bug / Format Bugs:
Many OBS applications save cells with long numbers in a loose scientific notation format, this means any cell with a long, float, or double length number will be transformed into a relatively close but not correct scientific notation.
Example:
612205820123becomes6.12206E+11but so does any number of the same length if it starts with6122058. This effectually destroys tracking numbers that do not include letters for example (FedEx).Easy Solution:
The real number is saved as an
office:valueattribute attached to the table cell. If aoffice:valueattribute is found on a table cell we simply need to use that value instead to avoid format bugs like this one; as well as any other bugs I may not have found yet, after all they (the OBS standards people) created theoffice:valueattribute for a reason.PS:
@nuovo - It seems pull request are going unanswered. I don't mind taking over this repo if you don't have time?
