Default Entering zeros in Excel

I am creating a simple excel document into which I want to place address
values such as Name, Street, Zip Code etc. Ultimately, I will do a Mail
Merge with Word to create address labels.

The problem: When I type into the field I have for zip codes, if the zip
code starts with a zero (eg., 06787), Excel immediately deletes the zero and
list the entry as "6787". I have tried to enable "zeros" in
Tools/Options/View/Zero Values but can not get the program to allow the entry
of "06787".

What simple thing am I missing?
