Default Convert date (m/dd/yyyy) in text format into an excel recognised date

is there anyway to convert a TEXT field with a date into an excel
recognised date?

or the other way around - convert a date in excel into text output?

The wizard is a nice dialog that you get when you click on the Data|Text to
columns option on the worksheet menubar in xl2003 menus.

I _think_ it's on the data tab of the ribbon somewhere in xl2007.
