Default How do I change date format without losing data?

I have a an Excel worksheet that has about 3,500 birthdates entered. The
format is if the person was born on january1st of 1960, it would look like
this: 19600101.
The program I use to calculate my work needs these formatted in the
traditional 01/01/1960. How do I get the whole column to change that format?
I really do not want to retype the whole thing.


PS -- The cell format is number, (-1234) according to Excel...
