Zip code loses leading zero Mail Merge from Excel to Word Labels

[Reb Brann]

Even though formatted as zip codes, I cannot get the leading zero to show in
my zip codes when using Word mail merge to create address labels.

Example: 04103 shows up on the label as 4103

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions here:
