Default Mergefield Format - Numbers and Text

In my (Excel) Database I have Field I need to merge which contains a four
digit Code, the majority of which are numbers eg 6781. These merge fine
without any requirement to place a switch, however one or two of the codes
are made-up of four letters and are displayed as a single zero. *MERGEFORMAT,
& *CHARFORMAT result in a blank field.
What do I have to stipulate to get the text to appear in the Mergefield?
PS I have formatted the column in Excel as TEXT.
