RUSH!!!!!

I have formatted the post code column in my excel worksheet to show the
following format, ex: 12345-1234 & 01234.

When I merge this file to my word mail merge document the format changes to
this... 123451234, 1234, & 0.

What happened to my dashes and zero before my zip code? Also why would the
zip code completely change to 0???

switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:
