Julie,
We would right click on the cell or entire column and select "format
cells". We then select the "number" tab and can choose "special" or "text".
In the United States version when we select "special" we can the select "zip
code". Hope this helps.

I would surmise:

Format | Cells | Special Zip Code

Hi Dean

how are you "formatting it as a zip code" ... what actual steps do you
take? (i'm in Australia and our postcodes are different to your zip codes
so i'm not actually sure what you mean when you say that you are
formatting it as a zip code).

what happens if you try the method i outlined in my last post - do you see
the 0 in print preview?

Cheers
