Try formatting the cell as text before entering the data.

I have a UPC code I am trying to upload to nextag. When I convert the UPC
code to Numbers or Text and then save the file as .csv for uploading, the
first digit of the UPC code disappears.

Ex: 0-18787-76631-6 I have to remove all dashes, apostrophes, etc, as per
Nextag specs, and in order for the zero to remain as the first digit I have
to convcer the formatting of the cell to text, but when I save the file for
upload the zero drops off, and I am left with 18787766316, which results in
an error. Any ideas???
