Default Post Net Bar Code, office 2007

I have an AutoText mergefield in Word 2000 that still works in Word 2007. The
mergefield code is: { BARCODE \u "type zip code here" \* MERGEFORMAT }. I
called it ZIPBARCODE. Whenever I want to use it, I type ZIP and then press
F3 to
drop the code into my document/envelope. SHIFT+F9 opens the code and I
replace "type zip code here" with the pertinent ZIPcode ("XXXX"), then press
SHIFT-F9 again to close the code. As I say, it still works in Word 2007.

Thanks for the answer....
I am simply looking for a way to put a bar code on the envelope as in Word
2007. I am not a bulk mailer. I can do it, but the required procedure takes
too long....

Microsoft took out the capability in Word 2007 (except by a round about
process) of printing a postal bar code on Envelopes. Is there a free or
inexpensive add-in I can use to do this?
