i need to insert a few different contact numbers into a spreadsheet but everytime I try to start the area code, the starting zero disappears. How do I format the cells to allow me to make this work?

"Format cells" and select the "general" item.

That's an apostrophe. A hyphen is next to zero -

You can also put a space in there and it won't format it as a number.
