making a ten digit medicalrecord number

G

gordyr

I have a macro that takes a word template that doctors use for progress
notes and onverts to an HL7 file to interface with our Electronic
Medical Record System. The problem I have is that the medical record
number for a patient could be anywhere from 3 to 10 digits and I need
them all to be 10 digits for the interface so I need to add preceding
0's to make it 10. example 3489 would be 0000003489. Not sure how to
accomplish this?

Any help would be appreciated.
