Default importing csv

I periodically import .cvs files that contain data like

0000
00
00000
0

at various places in the file. I need to capture the correct characters in
Excel. Because Excel insists on dropping leading zeros, I am forced to
rename the file as .txt before opening it. I can then tell the import wizard
to treat the data as text.

Is there a better way?
