Default It's not a date or time.

Hi, I'm exporting data to Excel from another software program. When the data
is in excel, there is one column that contains numbers and colons (e.g.
10:10:80). Unfortunately for me, Excel sees this as an improper date/time
entry and gives me a decimal number instead. Is there a way in Excel to get
the program to recognize it (10:10:80) as text rather than a general number
or date? I will eventually use text to column to get each number in its own
column so I can use the numbers in calculations.
