[Like the morning]

When I need to mail merge addresses that have zipcodes that begin with 0 - as
in 06790 - it drops the "0". I have formatted the zipcode column in excel to
be a zipcode and it shows the 0 in excel.

I have Word 2007, I can't follow what the article explains.

The version of Word makes no difference. All the information that you need
is in the US Zip Codes section of the web page.

Try again in the evening.
