Default How to stop last number from changing to 0

HELP PLEASE!!!

I'm using excel 2000 and when ever i paste a number that is longer than 15
numbers the last number is changed to 0. If i type that same number the last
numer will be whatever number i typed. It only seems to change whenever i
paste the number. Even if i do paste special and choose text the last number
is still 0 or if i just delete the 0 and type the last number in it still
changes to the 0 even when the cell is formatted for text. If anyone has any
suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Save your hair.

Format the cell as Text before entering the value
or
precede the number with an apostrophe (single quote)


Excel only handles 15 digit values.
