You can use the AutoCorrect feature for this. It will also affect other
Office programs, such as Word:

Choose ToolsAutoCorrect Options
In the Replace box, type: 1
In the With box, type: one
Click OK

Type a 1 in a cell, and it will be replace with "one"
(if you type the 1 with another character, e.g. 21, it won't change)

Is this a temporary thing? If so change autocorrect to replace 1 with one
Otherwise you would need an event macro that would change it

Here's a very good paper on event macros
