• Write spreadsheet adds carriage return

  I use the array build function to set up a number of channels and build an array of strings.  The construction is in a time loop.  A new row is added in the table to each loop.  I use scripture to spread worksheet function to save the worksheet to a file with the xls extension.  For some reason, a carriage return is inserted in the table.  The table has 9 columns and a carriage return is placed after the fourth column.  I haven't added that carriage return.  Does anyone know why write about the spreadsheet can automatically add a carriage return, and how to remove it?

  Thank you!
