Default Custom cell format using random alphabetic characters

Hi all,

I want to create a custom cell format that allows for the following:
When someone types five digits (could be alphabetic or numeric or both),
automatically add "MCY ID" before it.

So for example:
if you type: 29H73, it'll automatically change to "MCY ID 29H73"
if you type: 9992A, it'll automatically change to "MCY ID 9992A"
if you type AA76P, it'll automatically change to "MCY ID AA76P"

ETC.

Is this possible? I'm familiar with Custom cell formatting, but can't
figure out how to do that specifically. It's the letters that are messing me
up.

Thanks!
Joe
