Printing zip codes that start with 0
I formatted the cell for zip codes and in Excel 2003, the 0 shows up but when
I try to mail merge into a Publisher document, it won't print the 0 in zip codes that start with 0. Please help |
That's because Excel is only showing the leading zero because of the format.
Try preceding the data with a single apostrophe or pre-format the cells as text If this still doesn't work, try using the TEXT function to correct the data =TEXT(A2,"000000") -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "ET13" wrote in message ...

Thank you. The apostrophe worked!
