-----Original Message-----
I have received an EXCEL 2003 worksheet with a column

that contains many zip
codes, improperly formatted. The cells contain, for

instance:
10751746, but I want 01075
10271234, but I want 01027
10359999, but I want 01035

How can I convert the numbers above to give me the

numbers I want as
indicated above? I will appreciate advice.
