Default How do I not drop the leading 0 in a zip code mail merge?

I'm not sure this is the best method but what has worked with me is making
the field in Excel a text not zip code. This will drop your zero in front of
the number at which point I use the CONCATENATE function to combine the zero
and number.

In New Hampshire we have zip codes that start with '0' and it gets dropped in
my mail merge process. I have the excel field labeled as a zip code field and
it shows up there...
thanks, Kevin
