When doing a mail merge from Excel into Word (both 2003) the zip code
suppresses the leading zeros in some zip codes and fould up the zip plus 4
codes as well. When you look at the fields format in Excel, it show to be
correct and everything looks fine until it is pulled into Word. Is this
some
sort of bug?
I've tried everything from changing the zip field to text, general, number
it doesn''t seem to make any difference
Thanks for any help you can give.
