Default automatically open .txt file with all fields as text?

I need to be able to open a comma separated .txt file so that all fields
are automatically formated as text. I need this so that fields such as
"0003" are not converted to numbers which show up as "3". I need to have
it imported as "0003". Since there are over 150 fields per record, using
the import wizard and manually setting each column as text is less than
desirable. Any way to do this automatically?
