When creating an Oracle BI Publisher rdf template in Microsoft
Word, with intended output to Microsoft Excel; is there a way to format numbers
as text so that leading zeroes don't disappear? I would like to print out
telephone numbers and they have values such as 0215551234; where I want the
leading zero to show. In BI Publisher this shows as 215551234.
You can put the following in form field help text
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr"
unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?YOUR_TEL_FIELD?></fo:bidi-override>
OR
Check --Force LTR option
