XML Publisher : Text related output getting changed to Date format in EXCEL output.

Issue Details:Suppose, I have a item name as "02-02-2012" and when I check the output in EXCEL via XML Publisher in EBS, I see that this value gets changed to date format like "2/2/2012".

Requirement is that I need to show the item name as is in EXCEL.

I did some R&D, found some solutions given:
1. Adding leading or trailing 2 spaces before or after item name.   Output we get: 02-02-2012  
2. Putting  '  symbol before item name.  Output we get: '02-02-2012
3. Using Unicode: <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?ITEM_VALUE?></fo:bidi-override>      Output: We get data as is but when copied in a notepad we see 2 entered characters before and after item name.

Howdy, Stranger!
