Can I shut off Excel automatically removing the first 0
 

I am entering zip codes into Excel. some begin with the number 0 (e.g.,
04613) and excel automatically erased the first 0. How can I correct
this? Thanks.

Change the cell formats where you are entering zip codes.

FormatCellsNumber TabSpecialZip Code



Cheers,
