Default Newbie Phone Format Problem

SUCCESS!!!

Using the Data, Text to Columns suggestion worked for me.

Thanks to all

I'm a db guy so probably missing something very simple here.
Need to format a column with phone numbers 5555551212 into phone format
555-555-1212.

Have tried to select both the complete column and individual columns and
apply the special phone format and also Custom ###-###-#### but neither one
works on this spreadsheet.

What am I missing.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.
