Default nine digit zip code won't print in mail merge

I have the same problem but when I format (right click and choose "format
cells") the Zip Cell in Excel to Zip+4 it works good in excel except in the
formula bar. In Word it shows up as 9 numbers just like the formula bar in
excel.

Yes, I know it's pulling from the right field because all the names/address
with just the 5-digit zip code come in fine. My worse case scenerio is that
I'll just have to remove the 4-digit extension from those zips that have it;
I was just trying to avoid that - maybe the software is only set up to handle
5 digits in a zip code field. Thanks for the response!
