Default Mail Merge some international postal codes displayed as "0"

By default zip codes that include letters in them show up as a "0", This is
resolved by going to Tools-Options-General and checking the box "Confirm
conversion at open". When importing the data from the spread sheet do not
keep the default conversion option displayed as "OLE DB Database Files", I
have confirmed that the second option will work "Microsoft Excel Worksheet
via Converter" will work. From there you can work through the mail merge
without any dificulty and the zip codes from Canada and England will not show
up as "0" as they did before. If you keep the "OLE DB Database Files" option
selected you will not be able to import the zip codes without experienceing
the problems mentioned
