How do I get the "0" to print in the zip code when mail merging f.

[Guest]

I mail merged a list of addresses from Excel to Word. The leading "0" in the
zip code was dropped. I did have it formatted in Excel as a zip code. Can
anyone help me?

Put a numeric switch in the field \# "00000"

See sectionon US Zip Codes here:

I don't understand, could you explain further?

Ragmop,

I don't know to be any more specific than Graham was his article.

I'll try. Toggle field code display in your merge document (ALT+F9).

You should see something like { Mergerfield "Your field name" } add \#
"00000"

{ Mergerfield "Your field name" \# "00000"}
