Is there a way of having the cell automatically have the *0000000# in
the Custom format when the spreadsheet is launched?

Not normally, but you could make a template (XLT) with the formatting
(along with whatever else) already set up how you want. Then just reuse
the template and do 'SaveAs' to store it as a XLS.

The 0000000# works a number, but if the original value is 0555AA.
Then placed into EXCEL, the value goes to 555AA.

Is there a way of placing the 0 in front of 555AA like the 00000# does
for
a number?

Entering '0555AA' into a cell formatted as 'General' displays as
"0555AA" on my machine. As Gord states, Excel sees this as text as soon
as you enter the first alpha (non-numeric) character. Why would you say
Excel would drop the leading zero?
