How do I copy a date "03/28/08" in column "A" to paste as text "032808" in

The following formula will do the trick, just change the cell address to fit
your requirements:

=TEXT(A1,"mmddyy")

The function converts whatever number is in A1 and then formats the number
according to the format mask argument.
