Default Search and Replace Problem

Hello,

I want to replace "2008-*" in a TEXT formated column

2008-09-22
2008-09-24
2008-09-26
2008-09-27

and get this result in return...

09-22
09-24
09-26
09-27

As easy as this looks.. I've never been able to figure it out as EXCEL
automatically REFORMATS my cell as a DATE all text values get lost and this
is the end result

22-Sep
24-Sep
26-Sep
27-Sep

with editable cell values changed to...

9/22/2008
9/24/2008
9/26/2008
9/27/2008

I have tried everything to keep the "TEXT" format during the replace, but
nothing seems to work. I need this a MARCO, so if you have an easy fix,
please make it in Excel Macro form.

Thanks :-)))

P.S. I know this one below is probably the easiest this in the world, but
how do I select the "current row" or "current column" (separately) without
specifying a column range. I just want "current" or "active" one.
