Default Find and Replace Text

Here is my problem. I have the following text replicated hundreds of times
throughout my spreadsheet. 'Oct 2003 and 'Nov 2003 and other similar text
strings. I would like to do a find and replace on the year 2003 to 2004. When
I do this Excel changes the cell from text to date. How do I keep Excel from
doing this. Note that the cell must remain as text and that I can not just
reformat the cell as the string is a dimension name in an external OLAP cube,
that Excel References...

Thanks in Advance
Jim
