Default How to stop Excel from changing the cell properties?

Hi everyone,

I've just started using Excel for some small spreadsheet I need to have,
and I've stumbled upon a little problem.

Whenever I enter some text in a cell (for example August 2004), Excel
converts it to a 'date' format (aug/2004) which is not what I want.

How can I stop Excel from making these conversions, and tell it to keep
what I type?

Thanks in advance,

Ikke
