how can I keep excel from suppressing leading zeros as text

i am having a problem with Office 2007. It deletes leading zeros off of my
numbers stored as text. how can I make it stop doing this?

thanks for the info, but it didn't work. I have tried custom formatting the
cells, and when I look at the data, it has the ' in front of the data. But,
when I go to save it in another file, .csv, it deletes the zeros everytime.

Use a text editor to open that .csv to check it.


It's not the saving as a .csv file that caused the trouble. It's the reopening
in excel that's the problem.
