Default Date Cell/ Format woes!


Hi, first post here, so be gentle!
I have a row of months, that have been imported from another
spreadsheet. The problem i have is that they all have the following
format on first glance. i.e. "Feb-07". However, when I click on the
cell itself on one of the colums, it gives a format in the formula bar
of "01/02/06". What I need to do is give all the cells the format of,
say Custom "mmm-yy". However, try as i might when i try and apply the
formatting, paste special etc etc it does not convert into reading say
"Feb-07" in the formula bar.

Any thoughts?
Many thanks
Dan
