Default "Replace" problems

I've copied a list of English suffixes ("-able", "-ation") etc. into a row
of my Excel worksheet.
However, because the web-page table I copied them from has prefixed(!) each
suffix with the equals sign, I'm getting the error #NAME? in each cell. When
I click on the cell, I can see its contents, but not otherwise. I've tried
using the replace function, but for the result I get, for instance:

=-able+REPLACE("'='",1,1,"''")

Can you help?

Regards,
