We are exporting tabular data in tab delimited format. Some names that
are exported may well begin with - +, can look like a number: +section
etc. During export all names are quoted, e.g., "+section". However,
when opened in Excel all such names are misinterpreted as formulas and
produce ridiculous results or #NAME cell errors.
My question: how can I tag data to be exported in such a way, that it
is
a) interpreted as plain text and
b) not being decorated with extra lead characters (') visible in the
resulting table.
c) not neccessary to do special Excel settings or other activities on
the users side when importing the data

Thanks!
