Zip code that starts with "0" does not show it in merged document

[Hisako]

When I made a label with Excel document as a data source, the zip code that
starts with "0" does not show "0" and became 4 or less disit number. For
your info, the Zip code field of the data base is formatted as "Zip code".

The formatting in Excel only controls the way the information is displayed
in Excel. It is not actually stored in Excel in that fashion. To get the
correct formatting in Word, you will need to add a formatting switch to the
Word mergefield.
