Printing contact information

[Jon Polish]

I have a custom template I use for my phone book. I created two zip code attributes, one for business, the other for home. They are both strings (but I think this does not matter in UR because there are no validity checks - is this correct?).

There are zip codes with leading zeros that appear correctly on my computer, but the leading zero gets stripped when printed. So 07726 gets printed as 7726. Why?

P.S. OOPS! It seemed that the leading zero was kept but I navigated away from the item and returned to find it missing. I thought string should be treated as text and therefore any input would be literal.

Any way around this?
