Default part numbers auto-convert to dates

I have a long list of part numbers in XXXX-XX-XX format. When I paste them
into Excel, they are converted to dates XX/XX/XXXX and timestamp integer; the
numbers are lost. How can I disable excel's auto-conversion?

The solution listed on this site is not an option for me. I can't spend an
hour every day configuring file imports.


Try pasting this short list of part numbers into excel and watch what
happens...
