I have a very long string (about 700 characters) that I need to export to a single cell.

$pdf->Cell(150,$h,$model->data["value"]);

When opening it using Microsoft Excel it gives me a "File error: data may have been lost." whereas with OpenOffice it works perfectly.

Any workarounds for this?

Do you have special characters or non-english characters in the parameter string? – Neigyl R. Noval Apr 04 '13 at 02:31
Nope, there aren't any. – Tom Apr 04 '13 at 02:53
Didn't realise that MS Excel or Open Office could open PDF files; what version of Excel are you using? – Mark Baker Apr 04 '13 at 06:27
using fpdf you can export also in xls format. I'm using Excel Version 14 for mac. – Tom Apr 05 '13 at 07:26
