Default Importing text files with mathematical characters

I am importing text files to Excel and they contain mathematical operators as
part of the data. (For example "++" to denote a quantity of something.) Excel
will not allow these characters as it thinks they are mathematical. Is there
any way of stopping this happening?
Thanks in advance
