Excel Security Option

Since Convert Forms 2.0.4, a new option called Excel Security added to the Convert Forms configuration page which if enabled, values in the CSV exported file starting with a =, +, - or @ will be prefixed by a tab to avoid any CSV injection when opening the exported file using Excel.
