    Paste tracking numbers

    I need to be able to paste Fedex tracking numbers into Excel 2002. These numbers usually begin with zero (ex. 03850254321012). When I paste them as text or general, they come out like this: 3.85025E+12. If I change the format to number, Excel removes the leading zero. How can I get them to paste as is?

    Try formatting cell as custom and use this as type: 00000000000000

    (this asssumes your Fedex number is always 14 digits long)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
