fining zeros

When I type in zip codes that start with zero, the initial zero disappears
after I type it. How can I keep the zero in place at the beginning of a
string of numbers?
 
Either format the cell as TEXT before typing in your zip code, or precede the
zip code with an apostrophe ' to force Excel to treat the number as text.
