Default How to format cells so they display A01-222-333-7777 or D01-222-3

I want to format a range of cells so that they display A01-222-333-7777 or
any other first letter in the string e.g. H02-111-444-8888 or
Z11-555-666-9999. I want to be able to just type the data and have Excel put
in the "-" between the entries, e.g. A012223337777 (Keyboard entry).

Text letter first, followed by a string of numbers that will be used as a
text only display with hypens between them. There will always be two numbers
following the the first letter, followed by three numbers with a dash and
three numbers with a dash ending with four numbers seperated with a dash.The
range will not be used in any calculations. Similar to a SSN but with a
letter designation first.
