Default Remove formatting from SSN

I exported some data from an Access database. The Social Security Numbers
are in this format: 123-45-6789. I would like to change them all to
123456789.

I've tried creating a Custom Format and formatting the cells, but nothing
changed. Tried setting the format of a new column, then cutting and pasting
or Paste Special into the new cells, but it keeps the old formatting. Is
there an answer?
