Actually, before I even went back to check on any replies I answered my question. Here's the formula I used:
=LEFT(B3&REPT(" ",28),27)
So, the formula pads the cell with (28) spaces following my text and only display (27) characters.
Thanks though to those that replied with your formulas.
My question relates to a solution posted by mbarron in a previous forum topic: "Add a leading zero to CSV file"

bcastner,
First, you did disable XP's native firewall, right?
YES, THEY ARE DISABLED
1. Upgrade the NIC drivers if they are available.
BRAND NEW NIC, USED INCLUDED DRIVERS ON CD. WILL LOOK ONLINE TO CHECK IF NEWER VERSION

anyway, i decided to just wipe the whole...
