Default Excel to CSV problem

Excel has a problem with cells that contain strings with text length between 255
and1024 characters and shows the ### signs.

Format the cell(s) to General and should go away.

Hello!
I'm trouble with MS-Excel. I'm trying to export a excel file to a csv
file, but in my cells I have many caracters. In Excel these cells are
shown with #####, but I can see the right content in the Formula Bar.

When I export all data to CSV, the data inside the large cells are
replaced by ##### and I lose the original content.

Someone can help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
