Entering a hyphen

Hi, this must be a pretty basic question, please excuse
my lack of knowledge.

I right click a cell in Excel, select Format - Text.

Next double click the cell and enter a hyphen.

Excel adds stuff like "F28" after it.

Can I stop Excel doing that and have the cell accept any
character I want ?

Thanks - Kirk
