You can't merge bookmarks for the reason you have just discovered. You can
however include the data fields from the address in the barcode field if
that will help avoid the use of the bookmarks.

I've determined that the bookmark used in the barcode field doesn't
carry beyond the first section (page) after the merge. Therefore,
all the barcodes print using the bookmark on the first section.

Is there anyway to merge to pages instead of sections? I have a
feeling that is the problem.

Thanks again,

Use your second option - merge to a new document, select all CTRL+A,
then update F9. That should show the correct zips.

Trying to get barcodes on a mail merge with 200+ pieces. The
barcodes are the same on every piece. I use the helper with Word
2000 and have also used the suggestions here and in KB Article
212221. Following the instrucitions in the KB article results in
"Zip Code not valid!" error. Using the Word helper
(Insert...Field...Barcode) and using the bookmark option to identify
the address and zip fields results in all barcodes printing the same
for all addresses.

Any help is appreciated.
