Fix <Zip code not valid> error message in mail merge.

[AtypicalTech]

After importing the data for a mail merge, I get a <ZIP code not valid> error
message for more than half the ZIP codes, which are confirmed correct.

What data source are you using in what version of Word at what Service Pack level?

I figured it out. During the label setup wizard, I unmerged the [BARCODE]
feature from the <Address1> field. Merging only with the <ZIP> field, the
error went away and my labels are beautiful.
To answer your question.
Data source - Excel 2003
Word Version 2003
Service Pack - unknown, whatever the latest update is. My computer is set
do updates automatically.

Thanks for reading and responding.
