Default How do you get New England Zip codes to export all five digits

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Usually all I need is a walk-through!

Press Alt+F9. Your display will change from Zip to {Mergefield Zip}
Add the switch eg {Mergefield Zip \# "00000"}
Press F9 to update then ALT+F9 to toggle the display back again
If you need to create fields by hand the CTRL+F9 creates the brackets - the
rest is types from the keyboard.

I'm basically lost. I don't know where to start. Do you have a screen
capture I could reference? I know how to do a mail merge but then it
comes to the {} things, I dont know how to get there.

I need to start from scratch on this one. Could you walk me through
it?

won't reproduce in Word.
