Default Prevent Formatting of a Cell when it is loaded

Have you tried saving the Word document as a *.txt file and opening that in
Excel?

The Text to columns Wizard would allow you to designate the data as Text.

Then save as *.xls

Thanks. That did work. Though have to pre-format my cells text and paste
special text seems over kill.

It would be nice if EXCEL did not require all this work just have text data
stay text data.
