Default working with cells and text

I have a number of cells that have duration of time values, i.e 6:30,5:28;
which are hours and minutes. I actually want these values but in text
format. They would look identical but wouldn't have the Date/Time stamp on
them. What I have done in the past is copy the column of data and paste
into notepad, then made the column a text format then pasted back from
notepad into Excel. This gives the desired result, however, there has to be
a better way of doing this via code or something.

Any help is appreciated.
