Default bug - type 1-4531 in any cell - returned Jan-51 workaround is '1-.

In Excel office 2k if you type 1-4351 in any cell the returned value is
Jan-51, 2-4531 =Feb-51 etc. you cannot change the format of the cell to
display numbers!!! The workaround for this bug is to put an open quote mark
in front of the number i.e. '1-4531, as this is the type of number I use
regularly it is extremely annoying, has this already been reported and if so
is there a fix for it?
