It is also possible to force one or more zeros to display without changing
the cell format to text, and sometimes this is desirable. Select the cells,
go to Format/Cells/CUSTOM and in the "Type" box enter the same number of
zeros for which you need digits in your cells. If you enter 000000 and in a
cell type "1234" it will show as 001234.

Yes, but that wasn't what the OP was asking for.
