Default How to make a cell hold numbers as a length of time in xcel?

I am setting up a "tab-delimited" file to import into another program. The
file is to import "Titles" for Television. Each "Title" carries a length that
is measured in HH:MM:SS. When I input these numbers into the cell, they get
converted to a date with a clock time EXAMPLE 40:46:00 turns into "1/2/1904
4:46:00 PM". I just want to put in 46:46:00 and have it stay as
"text"......HELP ME PLEASE
