Default Formatting Cells

Using Access2003: I received a spreadsheet with a list of descriptions and
numbers. The numbers are formated 12345678. I need to format the numbers to
read 123-456-78. I used the custom function (under format
cells/Number/Custom) as such 000-000-00 for the column containing the
numbers. The only way the spreadsheed will desplay it correctly is if I
double-click in each field. I have 9700 records. Is there an easier way?

Thanks!
