format the cells as Number or general using format=Cells=Number tab.

If it is only one cell, then select the cell and hit F2, then hit enter or
go click in the formula bar and hit enter

If many cells in a single column, select them and do Data=Text to Columns,
select delimited and in the next page of the wizard, select Tab or a
character not contained in the cell and click finish.

or put 1 in a blank cell, copy the cell (edit=copy). then select the
troublesome cells and do Edit=Paste Special and select Values and Multiply
(or use a zero and select Add).
