I'm not an expert but i saw a while back a web site that dealt thoroughly
with just this question. I think the author was Graham Mayor. Someone here
will be able to give the link, or you could google his name plus "word format
switches".

Using 2007 Excel and 2007 Word
A co-worker has a name/addr file in Excel and formatted the zip column as
category, special 00000. Zip shows fine.

However when uses word mail merge to produce mailing labels, the leading
zeros are dropped.

What need to be done?
