Hello

I had the same problem with AppleWorks 6 generating the same type of 
spreadsheet with "long number digits "

Here's what I did to make it work

1.In Finder click on Format and select Number

2. In the Pull Down menu ,  change  from General to Fixed
Hit Apply and then Save

Now when you type in very long digit number, it will appear in the cell 
as-is when you hit Return

Do 1 & 2, above prior to each entry because at times I found that at 
times , Number defaulted to General when I moved to another cell. Do 
not know why and never investigated, etc
