Default To display number in text format in cells

*OR*

Format to TEXT *before* entering (pasting) the number.

I have a sequence of digits like
5026555306553

I entered in a cell and when the cursor left the cell it displays as
5.02656E+12

How do I set the cell or the whole spreadsheet to display as text rather
than this format?
