Default Formula to correct copied option tickers starting with "+"

I copy financial data from my brokers website and paste it as text into a
spreadsheet. Look-up formulas reference the downloaded information. My Broker
precedes option tickers with a + sign, and Excel thinks that it is a formula.
Example: The copied text +EDTG, is displayed in the formula bar as =+EDTG
and the cell shows the #NAME? error.
I currently use the replace tool to remove the =+ operators, which makes the
entry usable, but would like to know if there is a way to do this with a
formula.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
BTW, I use Excel 2003
