Default large numbers not losing the end without formatting column

Hi,
i need to be able to open a .csv file in Excel with large numbers and or
Leading zeros without having to put a ' single quote in or format the column
as text or import using text to columns so that i do not lose the
actual/original data i am passing to Excel - is there anyway to do this or
fool Excel in the .csv file into thinking the number field is a text field -
i have tried inserting a row at the begininng with only text in each column
but Excell still looses leading zeros and chops the ends of the numbers?
thanks
best regards
kevin
