Running into a problem I never experienced previously.  When I perform a mail
merge using an Excel address database as a source, Zip Codes that begin with
"0" come through without the lead "0".  Example: Excel cell formatted as a
zip code "01234" is merged and displayed on mailing labels in Word as "1234".
