<<I am seeing my senior tomorrow & I will double check her settings again in Excel as per your instructions.>> Ok...but if she DOES have it set for Zip Code and the zeroes aren't showing, then follow the instructions in the article Dian sent a link for that I wrote for TechTrax and use a custom format. For a standard zip code, the format would simply be 00000 But, I use the Zip Code format for all my zip codes in Excel and when I do a mail merge in Word, the zeroes all show so I have no idea why that's not working for you.

So it looks fine in Excel but when Word is through the 0 is no longer there. I am seeing my senior tomorrow & I will double check her settings again in Excel as per your instructions. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
