Hi all

I have results in the range from 10^-9 to 10^6 that I want to display in
the same Results window.

If I set decimal places to 4, I get 4 decimal places for everything >
10^0 (12.3456), and I get 4 significant figures for everything <= 10^-5
(1.234E-5).

But, for 10^-4 I get only one significant figure which is the 5th
decimal place (0.00001).  So the precision of my results is not the same
across orders of magnitude.

Is it possible to just have 'scientific' format applied to the whole
table for consistent precision, with for example a selection of number
of significant figures?

Cheers

Mike
