Default Padding a text column with leading zeros

I have a text file with a column containing numeric codes. I need to 'pad'
the code values with leading zeros--so that all of the codes are of the same
length. I imported the file into a new workbook, specifying the code column
to be of type text.

I've tried every method and searched the web and newsgroups every way, but
can't figure out how to pad the column. The many references for Excel 2003
don't seem to apply to Excel 2007. Can someone help?
