Word don't reconized zero infront of Zip Code
I'm doing a mail merge in MS Word 2003 and the zipcode column has a zero infront of the 8 digit numbers, and MS Word automatically display that zipcode to be 0 and the other 8 digit numbers are gone. This is if the zipcode column is formated as text in Excel. If the zipcode column is formated as Zip Code + 4 in Excel then when mail merge in Word, the zero that is in front of the rest of the numbers got trimmed and only display 8 digita instead of 9 digit with the zero leading. How do I solve this problem?
Any help is appreciated. ljCharlie |
