Zip Code won't default

Here is the problem that I still can't solve.  I'm
starting a mail merge from Outlook 2002, and browsing
from the "Mail Merge Contacts" dialog box under "Existing
document."  The Word document that I bring up has
an "AddressBlock," that for some reason does not bring
the zip code up.  So, I have to edit the mail merge every
time by going into the addressblock (i.e. right click,
select edit address block, hit match fields button, and
then under "required information" I do a drop down menu
in the "Postal Code" catagory (which by default
says, "not available"), and select "ZIPPostal_Code").  
Why do I have to select that every time?  How do I make
it default so I don't have to go into the addressblock
every time?  Is there anyone that can solve this for me.  
Thanks.

Don't use the address block.
Read up on how to control how addresses are inserted in mail merges:
