My full problem is that I have a couple txt files that I need to work
with in Excel, however druning the import I can't get a custom format
for a column.  Because of this I have to import a column that should
always be a 4 digit class code as text, I would then like to reformat
it to simply be stored as a custom format of the style "0000".

My problem is that once I aply the new format I then have to go through
ever cell and "F2, enter, F2, Enter, etc".  Is there some way to
"refresh" a column/row/selection of cells?

Thank you

Copy a blank cell.  Highlight the cells you want to change to numbers.  Right
click the selection and select paste special.  Select "add" under "operation"
and click ok.
