What type of barcode is produced in word in mail merge?
It is POSTNET, and it is not USPS-compliant, so it's more or less useless.

What type of barcode is produced in word in mail merge?
Yes, the barcode produced by Word is POSTNET.
The USPS no longer accepts that format for bulk mail discounts -- see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290. You might as well not use the barcode feature at all. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. who cares wrote: There are different barcodes for the USPS.
