How do I type 042707 and have it display on my Excel colum as 04/27/07?

Every time I type it (without the dashes) it changes on my worksheet.
I've
tried every option under Format Cells - Number - Date and have even
played
around with the Custom option, but still not getting my correct date to
show
up with the dashes.
