Default Zip codes in mail merge - first digit doesn't display in merge

Office 2007 - used spreadsheet to create an address list; zip codes appear
correctly in spreadsheet but when using spreadsheet as a mail merge document,
the first digit disappears in the zip code field, i.e., 05401 becomes 5401.
