Default Turning a 9 digit string into zip+4

Hi,

I have a column of data which contains 9 digit numbers. These are zip codes
+ 4. Problem is that we received the data as a continuous 9 digit number
with no hyphen. For some other software we use, I really need the hyphen.
I went to "Format Cell" and found zip+4 formatting and custom formating which
shows "00000-0000." I tried to apply each and nothing happened. I even
created another column, formatted with that cell format and then pasted the
numbers in. Nothing. In other columns, I was able to reformat cell
properties such as turning currency numbers into regular numbers.

Little help? Thanks!
