do not merge correctly. I have tried everything. I have tried as
text as numbers as special with zip and still no luck. PLEASE HELP I

You can either use the field formatting options within Word, or in Excel you
can use the TEXT function to format the number appropriately.

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions here:
