Labels not printing zip codes
I am doing a simple mail merge from other peoples excel lists...when I print
the lables, many of the zip codes show as a zero on the label. I notice a green comment error corner and by ignoring the error, the problem goes away but what causes this to begin with? If I highlight the whole column to format as zip codes the boxes do not go away. If I correct and then copy the data to a new sheet the new formatting does not save. |

Labels not printing zip codes
Debra Dalgleish posted this to a similar question:
There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you: Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/as...164951033.aspx And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill has instructions he http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/...ngWord2002.htm about half way down the page. ==== Or maybe you could use a helper column: =if(a1="","",text(a1,"00000") As you've seen formatting the cell doesn't change the value--you'll have to do that yourself.
