Default Word Mailmerge does not display a ZIP code beginning with a zero.

Even though the ZIP code beginning with zero is formatted as special and zip
code in the Excel source DB, Word does not display the zero on the letter and
prints "Not A Valid Zip Code" where the postal bar code should be displayed.
Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks, the leading zero now displays, but the "ZIP code not valid" continues
to display where the postal code should be.

Did you use the switch on the ZIP field in the bar code field?
We don't use postal bar codes here, so it is difficult to check.
