Default Formatting SSNs

I am still having difficulty with this concatenate formula. I have a
spreadsheet I need to import as a flat file. First I have to put info into
an Excel spreadsheet. If I use the concat formula, it appears in a column
that I cannot have in my spreadsheet becasue the import parameters are
already set. Column A is my SSNs. I cannot use them in the import with
hyphens and if zeros drop off. Can anyone help me to format Column A so
zeros don't drop off and hyphens go away? I can use Column H for a formula.
Please answer with lower level geek speak. Thanks
