Lead Zeros to Show?

[laurie.hull]

What is the formula for the function MID to get lead 0s to show like on a
social security number.

for example: I see right now 56769584 but I want to see in the cell
056769584.

Thanks but that did not work. I know that it is a MID function and I used to
be able to do it but I can't remember. Laurie

YOu can also simply use a custom format like "000000000".
