How to insert a number beginning with zero into a table inserted into document?

Hi, hope you can help with this conundrum.

I'm trying to create a template of an invoice form.

At the end of the form I want to insert my bank account details — four strings of numbers — two strings with four digits, one string with two digits, and a string of ten digits like so: 1465 - 0120 - 56 - 1734562345.


However, when I create a four column table — without a header row —and insert the digits the first zero in the second string of numbers disappears.

The kind of thing I wish to create — but without the header row — is shown here:


14650120561734562345


How is it I can create a table here, in this message, using a table, with the second string of digits beginning with a zero, and cannot create it in a Pages document?

Hope you can help — it's driving me crazy. Thanks.

Hi Bill,


Inspector > Table Tab > Format button > Cell Format. Format the cells as text.
