How to merge Excel address columns when some zips begin with zeros

[LeoLady]

I can successfully merge 3 columns containing a City, State, and Zip code,
using a formula of =a1& ", " &b1& " " &c1), where d1 is the merged column.

However, in the merged column, 5 digit zip codes beginning with zero drop
the 1st zero. 9-digit zip codes leading with zero print correctly. However,
most of my zip codes are 5-digit ones. Can you help me?

Replace: & C1
By: & TEXT(C1,"00000")
in the first formula and copy down the column
