Default #NAME? Problem

Greetings. I have checked the help files, but I have not been able to find
the answer. I am using EXCEL 2003. I have several columns that contain only
"words" that do not require any calculations. Some "words" look like this:
"+OWBI71YM" (but without the quotes). As you can see there is a plus sign in
front of the word. But this word appears like this in the column: "#NAME?"
(but without the quotes). What can I do to turn off all possible
calculations in these columns. I am new to EXCEL, so please explain in easy
English. Thanks.
