Default Lead Zeros in Text

We want to use Text to Columns to divide a field with four digits into two
columns with two digits. If one of the digits begins with zero, this does
not work - (the zero drops from the display). How do we retain the lead zero
in the resulting cell?

We have tried formatting the workbook as text prior to importing and
afterward too, to no avail. FormatNumberCustom00 did nor work either.

'Suggestions?
