Default how to keep all leading zeros when stripping dashes from txt num

I have a text column that contains formatted numbers.
I need to strip the dashes, but preserve ALL numbers.
When I use replace to strip the dashes, Excel automatically changes the
cells to numbers format and I lose all the leading zeros.
