Display part of a number in Word XP

[jdawgnat]

I am using Word XP to build a mailmerge letter and I am importing my
data from a ; delimited txt file. I am running into the issue with
importing because the txt file has numbers listed as 00470 and I need
it to just say 470 when I merge it into the document. Is there a way to
tell Word XP to only show the last 3 digits and not the first two?

Toggle the merge field (ALT+F9) and add the following switch \# "#"
thus
{Mergefield Fieldname \# "#"}
This will remove the leading zeros from the number.
