numbers appear different after hitting enter
If numbers you type do not exceed 15 digits, just pre-format the cells to
SpecialZipcode
If more than 15 digits, type an apostrophe before entering the digits.

You can show a max of 15 digits but anything above 11 must be formatted as
number or custom not general.
