how do I input zip codes with a leading zero
I live in the NE where zip codes start with a zero. I have gone in and tried
all options under format cells. I even entered some coding that would let me input what I need and it did not work. I am trying to set up a mail merge in Microsoft Word (I have Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition) and all my zips show up without the leading zero. Please help! |

If you format the cell as text, then type in your zip code (with the leading
zero), it'll work. Alternate #1. Type your zip with a leading apostrophe: '01234 Alternate #2. Type your zip as a number, but give it a custom format of: 00000 Susan wrote: Tried that, thanks... still does not work! "º¼ÖÝÈË" wrote: format --text -- Dave Peterson |

If your question is really about the format appearance in *WORD*, and *not*
XL's format itself, try this link: http://office.microsoft.com/en*-ca/...4951033.*aspx -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Susan" wrote in message ...
