Default Adding Periods at Specified intervals

Hi,

I have an excel problem that I've been working on for a few minutes, and thought perhaps someone here knows a good formula to simplify my work.

I have a column of 10 digit numbers. In each number, periods have to be added at intervals of 4, 2, and 4 digits. For example, if the number is 1234567890, than it needs to be broken down to, 1234.56.7890

Does anyone know an easy way to do this? I thought it might be a matter of recording a macro to divide the numbers into columns, add the the periods, than combine them back into an output column, but I'm sure there has to be an easier way. Thanks!
