Default numbers to text

is there an "easy" way to change a number (dollar value) into text and have
all the zeros stay in place:

45.00 (number) change to text -- 4500
4.75 (number) change to text -- 475

probably a macro, but I wouldn't even know how to start. hope someone can
push me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Roger,

An easy way, but the values remain as numbers, not text:
.. enter '100' into any unused cell.
.. copy the '100'.
.. select the range to want to change
.. use Edit|Paste SpecialValuesMultiply
If you really need to change the values to text, you can then use Format|CellsText

Cheers
