Is it possible to get AppleWorks 3.0 to use exponential notation to deal
with very big and very small numbers?  I don't need 14 significant figures,
just 2 or 3 most of the time.  Sure, I can multiply by huge constants, but
that isn't a completely acceptable solution in all cases.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've been using TimeOut Graph from Beagle for a while.  It's pretty good.  But
I've been able to crash it by selecting long titles for the X labels in bar
graphs.  Also, it really needs to be able to plot line graphs on log X and Y
scales.  Anyone from Beagle Bros. care to pass this on to whoever?

Thanks
