And as we've explained in several threads in the last few weeks, the reason
you have to go to these lengths is that Microsoft deliberately removed the
barcode settings from several dialogs. They did that because the Post Office
no longer uses the kind of PostNet barcode that the Word field inserts.
Using Word to put barcodes on your mailings may be worse than useless,
because the Post Office will have to cover them and substitute the correct
ones.

Here's one way to insert zip codes in your documents: I used 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 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, then press SHIFT-F9 again to close the code. As I say, it
still works in Word 2007.
