Before I'd venture a guess, I'd want to know how long the string is and how you
created the .csv file.

And if you open that .csv file using NotePad, do you still see the same problem?

And the version of excel/word that you're using.

The reformat to general works within the spreadsheet, but if it is necessary

when opened in WORD. Does anyone know how to actually fix the problem? Or
what causes it?
