In most of the lists the City, State and Zip are in one field, and they work fine and the labels are good. In one list it's necessary to have the Zip in a separate field and the problem here is that the Zip comes out with a period and zero after it. Eg if the correct zip is 11145 the zip coming up in preview and on the printed label is 11145.0 I have tried various formatting options and its still the same, and I have found that any cell containing only numbers comes out the same, eg Social Security numbers, telephone numbers etc. Even formatting the cells as text, once only numbers are present, the problem is still there. Any ideas on how to correct. Thanks. Mike |
