Default how can i make excel stop putting numbers as dates?

i work with alot of Imperial and Metric dimensions for products, but it seems
that excel does not realy like imperial measurements. Let Us say that i ahve
a screw that is 5/8 inches long. if i put that into a cell, even formatted as
text, it will still change it to 05-Aug. same with countless other
Dimensions. I've searched high and low on how to fix this, but i cannot. I
am copieing a Large set of dimensions, and about half of them turn into
dates. any insight on how to fix this would be great.
