What kind of barcode? There are dozens.

The only kind Word can make without a special font or third-party software is a
US Postal Service POSTNET barcode, which is now obsolete
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290). If you really must insert one anyway,
use the Insert Field dialog (in Word 2007, Insert Quick Parts Field) to
insert a BarCode field, which can contain the zip code itself or the name of a
bookmark that covers the zip code.

For any other kind of barcode, visit the BarCode1 web site,

Yes MS Word only support postnet barcode, if you want to create other linear or 2d barcodes in Word document, you can download some barcode add-ins to have a try~

First of all, you should download a Word barcode plugin, then close all your Word documents to install this plugin in your Microsoft Word document. Now, you can create the barcode you want in your Word document. For more details, please refer to this Word barcode generation tutorial.

I don't know what is your barcode generator, so, as for me, just several steps:
Open Microsoft Word
Click Tools
Click Envelopes and Labels
Type the Delivery address if necessary for the Envelope or Label
Click the Options button
Check the box for "Delivery point barcode"
