Default Formatting cells for decimals and hyphens

Greetings,

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet of available guns at our store and I need
to type in things like:

..410
..300
..308
..243
30-06

but it self corrects .410 to .41 and if I write 10-11-11 it wants to create
a date.

How do I turn off the formatting so I can type in decimals and hyphens
without excel correcting them to some other format?

Thanks, Mark
