zip codes going to zero in mail merge labels

[Jill]

Help! When I do a mail merge with addresses from an Excel
database to Word, sometimes the zip code field shows up
as a "0". The zip code column is in "zip code" number
format. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have
a 200+ person mailing going out in the next couple days.

Thanks
