print bar codes on mailing labels using word 2007
The facility to insert barcodes has been deleted from Word for the reasons
outlined in the following post by Peter Jamieson: Quote If you are not using postnet barcodes for bulk mailing discounts, the USPS has an article saying that "unless you are preparing a mailing for automation rates, you should NOT put barcodes on the mailpieces. As long as the mailing address is correct, your mail will still be processed efficiently without a barcode-and you won't need to worry about having the wrong barcode on your mail." http://www.usps.com/businessmail101/...tsBarcoded.htm One of the links in the article says that you can't get an automation-rate discount unless your mailing list has been verified by Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) software and you're sending at least 200 or 500 pieces (depending on the mail class) at one time. Part of the problem is that the standards for generating barcodes have changed over the years and Word's feature has not kept up. Microsoft has a general article about this he: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290 There's a specific article about the problem with "multi-unit buildings" he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220548 In other words, if you're using USPS barcodes for bulk mailing discounts, you have to use a package other than Word. If you aren't, you don't need them and probably shouldn't use them at all. Unquote -- Hope this helps.
