This article was previously published under Q242330 SUMMARY This article describes how to preserve leading zeros in a
number in a Microsoft Works spreadsheet cell or database field.
For
example, if you type a five-digit ZIP code that begins with a zero in a cell or
field, Works truncates the leading zero by default.
Note This behavior does not occur if you type a number that contains a
HYPHEN (-), such as a nine-digit ZIP code, because Works automatically formats
any number that contains a HYPHEN (-) as text.
