First of all, we talk about an outdated alien file format. A completely
different solution would be to make it not so easy to save under this format.

I agree with Stuart's c3 (=> WF), and doubt there is any good solution. When
you open a file with limitations it could easily result in what you suggest.
But the other way around after creating a new file and exporting, it makes not
much sense to fiddle around with the UI depending on the chosen file format.

Last but not least the discussion is a bit academic as 256+ columns are not the
typical data. Or do you have issues reported by the users?
