Highlight the column (with nothing in it)..
Format -->Cells -->Choose text --> Okay.

Subject: [WIGEN-L] Excel Question
I'm transcribing a census and trying to get more comfortable
working with
Excel at the same time, and am hoping one of you more experienced cc's can
help me.
My first field is the dwelling and family number, and when I try to type
1-1, Excel converts it to "1-Jan" when I tab to the next cell. I am so
green I cannot find the answer to my question in the help file...how do I
tell Excel to leave my 1-1 as it is typed when
I tab to the next cell?
