Default Cell content differes from formula bar


I posted this earlier but I've lost the thread

I imported a database from !ACT into Excel which includes a phone
number column. Some phone numbers are like this: (603)123-4567 and
others are like 603-123-4567.They sort seperately so I'd like to edit
the numbers to eliminate the parenthesis.
The problem is that when I select the cell the parenthesis disappear
and they aren't there in the formula bar so I can't edit to fix

Reformatting the whole column as a phone number has no effect.
