Default formatting numbers beginning with zero

Hi all

I have a large worksheet with lots of numbers on it beginning with 00,
however, whenever I enter a number, Excel automatically removes the zeros.

I have tried formatting the cells as General, Numbers but it still removes
the zeros. What can I do to get around this?? I realise I can put ' before
the numbers but I need them to be recognised as numbers, not text.

Thank you.

Louise
