Default formatting column as text.

i have data in a column that looks like this - mar06-may07. i want to use
"text to column' and separate the two dates. i have formatted both columns
as text so it won't 'interpret' Mar06 as 3-Mar or may07 as 7-may. BUT it
won't stop formatting
the data as 6-Mar or 7-may.
