Ron,
Formatting as text didn't change the actual cell content. The formula bar
still displays the 2525 and not the '0000002525. Any other suggestions?

See if this works for you:
format the cells as Text

FormatCellsNumber tab
Category: TEXT

Then, anything you type into those cells will be treated as text.

Does that help?

Hello,
I have a cell value formatted as Accounting 0000000000 (10 places). How can
I convert this formatted value to an actual text value? Example: A1 is
actually 2525, but appears as 0000002525. I want to have B1 have an actual
text value of '0000002525.

Thank you!
Terri
