Default Looking for example of merge field switch format zipcode in Word

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,
