Hi, I did try %g formats, but then some coefficients with stars have more (or less) than two significant digits past the decimal.

I am importing to Excel so I tried exporting the table with a different number format (i.e. %9.8f) and then changing the number format in Excel, but any coefficient with a significance star is treated as text in Excel.
