The POSTNET barcode was dropped in Word 2007 because the barcode Word
produced is no longer USPS-compliant. See "The POSTNET bar code that Word
generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts" at

Howdy Fridriksson,
I don't know about in 2007, but the following is true about 2003 and
eariler. The only kind of barcode Word can print without assistance is a
PostNet code
for a postal ZIP code, by using a BARCODE field. For any other kind of
barcode, you need either a special font or a separate program that
generates
the barcodes as graphics for inclusion in a Word document.
You need to decide first what kind of barcode you need. The Code 39 and
UPC
codes are probably the most common, but there are many more.
Here are some links that are worth looking at:
