If the cell is formatted as general a number with more than 11 digits will be displayed in the scientific format. You can show a max of 15 digits but anything above 11 must be formatted as number or custom not general. -- Greetings from New Zealand "cb" wrote in message ...

If numbers you type do not exceed 15 digits, just pre-format the cells to
SpecialZipcode If more than 15 digits, type an apostrophe before entering the digits.
