I have some codes that go to customers that contain both zeros and the letter
O. They look very similar and to avoid confusion, I have been requested to
make the zeros show up as zeros with a diagonal line across them.

I am using Excel 2003 SP2.

You'd have to use a font which displays 0s in such a way.

I don't know which font does that but I'm sure there is one out there. Just
experiment with different fonts.

Or perhaps google something like "calculator display font"

You need to have a slashed zero font installed.

Check out this 'net search result for downloads.

HamFonts has an Arial slashed font and are free.
