I m doing a mailmerge that includes addresses.
I've read the Numeric Picture (\#) field switch, and it gave a lot of good
ideas. But when I try, my zipcodes are often converted to dates. I also
see
that my leading 0 is dropped, and my 5+4 zips that have a dash are
processed
by subtracting.
They are stored in my excel file in cells with Text format.
Thanks,
