Default Old mailmerge document no longer handling zip codes right

I have an old (successful) mailmerge document to print mailing lables
from an Excel file. This year I upgraded to Office 2003 and now for
every address whose zip code is NOT a 5 digit number, the Zip merges as
a zero (or letter O, hard to tell). I tried build a new one but it has
the same problem.

Now, I would just go with five digit zip codes (9 isn't that critical)
but I use this cell for overseas addresses as well and these can't be
changed.

Help!! Need to get my Christams cards out Monday!

Thanks in advance!
