Have you tried adding an apostrophe before the ISBN in Excel? (E.g., instead of
9783161484100, write '9783161484100 - note the leading apostrophe). As far as I
know, this trick forces Excel to treat the number as a string (and it won't
include the apostrophe), so it will be saved correctly, without any scientific
notation.
