I believe read.xls has a colClasses argument. If you import using
read.xls(filename, colClasses='character')
everything will be imported as a string, and you can re-convert after
importing

I found a curious bug in read.xls. I don't know if it's reproducible.
It's like this: suppose I do a read.xls in a spreadsheet. A column
begins with a number. Then, any strings below it will be rendered as NA.
If the column begins with a string, then it will be rendered correctly.
