Default Word 2007 bar codes for mail merge

I have NEVER used the bar codes for bulk mailing services.

I just like to have the bar code to speed along my first class mail whether
it is one or a dozen items.

Any suggestions how I can add bar codes? The new multi step system as
explained by the Microsoft customer service rep is TOO time consuming if you
are doing more than one label or envelope.

It seems to me that with every upgrade the things I do take longer and have
more steps.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290 "The POSTNET bar code that
Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts".

I need to know how to put bar codes onto labels/envelopes using a database so
each address has its own and correct bar code. Ver. 2003 was easy, 2007
apparently no longer does this (so I was told by Microsoft).

My list of questions for Microsoft on their new office programs numbers well
over a dozen and growing.
