Description
```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.export from microsoft access through a Macro to excel
2.creates a excel file format excel 2003
3.use php-excel-reader
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
normal excel files import fine without issues. But when I use the export from
access macro.. I get symbols in the database and only parts of each cell in the
file. When I open the .xls file excel it open without any issues. Is the
macro created file not supported even though its exported in the excel 2003
format?

Research direction
No source file, test, or sample fixture is named. Start by reproducing the import with an Access macro-generated Excel 2003 file and a normal .xls file, then inspect the parser entry point to find where symbols and truncated cell values arise. Done means the generated file imports with complete, correct cell contents.
