Default Keeping lead zeros in excel text format when saving as CSV file

I am working in excel and need to import into Sage. I can create the CSV
file that is required but I lose the leading zeros from certain text
columns/fields when I convert to from excel to CSV (for example 025 becomes
25). How can I overcome this. If I edit the CSV file in Notepad will this
do the trick. If it does, this will be OK for the odd item, but I may need to
do it for hundreds of items in the same column/field and this is impractical
in Notepad.
