Default Zip codes not showing up correctly in mail merge

My zip codes aren't showing up properly in a publisher mail merge even though
the excel spreadsheet it's coming from is set up correctly.

Could we get a little more info:

Software versions?

What do you mean by "aren't showing up properly" -- not in the right place,
truncated, etc.?

New problem, never works?

I am going to assume that you have zip codes that begin with 0 but they are
not coming over as a 5 digit code. Is that it?

Format the zip code field as text.
