Default can i change the default cell format to text in a new document

i am dealing with product numbers that start with leading zeros. Excel by
default treats these as numbers, and leaves out the zeros.
Is there a way to set the default format in a new document to text, so that
excel will keep those zeros?
thanks
jay
