To your first point - put a single quote (') in front of the number. It
won't show up when the cell is displayed or printed, but it will cause the
following characters to be treated as text.

Greetings,
I work a lot with data that is all numbers but has to be formatted as text
due to the leading zeros. Is there an easy way to format the cells as
text?
Going to the Home tab (assuming I'm not there) and clicking on the drop
down
arrow then scrolling down to text takes more mouse clicks than I'd like. I
know I can use the keyboard shortcuts but what I was hoping to be able to
do
is put button the Quick Launch Bar, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
And another question - The comma format button defaults to 2 decimals.
Anyway to change that to 0 decimals? I also work with a lot of data that
needs to be formatted with a comma but without decimal points.
Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Christine
