If the text to columns thing worked, then the paste special/multiply
thing would have probably worked also, becuz both of them convert the
text to general, instead of text

Thanks.  Formatting as number didn't work.  I believe the cells had a '
in
front of them.  The Data>Text thing did work.  Interesting.  I do have
2002
but doing the smart tag thing would have taken all weekend since there
are
more than 5000 cells that were incorrectly formatted.

If there had not been an easy solution, I would have imported to Access,
changed the properties then exported back to Excel.
