If you want a leading zero not only for display but for some other reason
you need to format as text or precede entries with an apostrophe '
otherwise use the zip code format under formatting

I have a zip code that begins with a zero. I try to format the cell and it
appears to work, but it does not show the zero in the formula bar. Then
I'll
save it but when I reopen the worksheet it does not save it. Is there some
other way of doing this? Please Help!- Thanks
