Default saving exponential to text data

I have been having aproblem saving my xl sheet to csv and keeping the text
information as text.

I change the whole column to text from exponential numbers. It appears
okay. Then when I save the document as a csv document it reverts back to the
exponential numbers.

I get numerous warnings on you will lose information by using the csv format
and whether I answer yes or no to the questions the data always reverts back
to exponential data and not the text data it was changed to.

What am I doing wrong?
