Default Custom format for credit card number

Precede the credit card number with an apostrophe ('). This will
not show up in the cell, but will display in the formula bar.

I created a custom format for credit card numbers using
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
But when I key a number into the formatted cell, the last
(rightmost)
digit converts to zero.

So when I enter, for example, 5511246190465589 the cell
displays
5511-2461-9046-5580.

Any ideas?
