if you want to enter a formula, you need to enter and equal sign first. OpenOffice.org has a pretty good manual on it somewhere that should help

Use a single quote to indicate a text field. So you'd type '6-8

hm but wouldn't people think that means inches or something :/ or i guess i can put 6 or 8 but if i do that i still kind of want to know how to turn that off

Spreadsheets have used it for years and years now. It's universal.
