Zero-Width Columns Lost in Text & Commas/Text & Tabs Formats

When you are using a Works Spreadsheet module or Database module file that contains 0-width columns, and you save the file in a Text And Commas or Text And Tabs format, the data in the 0-width columns will be lost in the text version of the file.

NOTE: Other kinds of column formatting will not affect what is or is not saved when you save a file in text format.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Open a new Spreadsheet module document.
2. In cells A1-D1, type the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively (one number for each cell). Your spreadsheet should look like the following example:

            |     A     |     B     |     C     |     D     |
         ----------------------------------------------------
         1  |     1     |     2     |     3     |     4     |
         ----------------------------------------------------
   					

3. Set the width of column B to 0.
4. From the File menu, click the Save File As command, and enter the filename SPIFF.TXT. Under Format, click Text And Commas.
5. Close the file.
6. Open SPIFF.TXT as a Word Processor file.

Note that Works saved only the numbers 1, 3, and 4; the 2 in column B is gone. The same results will occur when you save files in the Text And Tabs format. This behavior exists in both the MS-DOS and Windows versions of Microsoft Works.
