Microsoft Office Word 2007
Previously was using Word 2002. That Version included "Delivery Point
Barcode" that you could add to your Printed evelope which I understood based on the mailing address Zip Code addec the Zip Code in the form of a barcode which inturn sped up the mailing of the letter as Post Office scanners read this delivery Point Barcode. I have not been able to find this option to Add to the printing of Evelopes with Office Word 2007. Is it still an Option? |

You can still insert a BarCode field manually, but the option is not
available in the Envelopes dialog because the POSTNET bar code produced by the field was no longer USPS-compliant. See "The POSTNET bar code that Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290 -- Suzanne S.

How can I manually insert a bar code? The link provided explains why the
option is no longer in the evelope Dialog...but not how to create it manually. "Suzanne S.

There's no reason for you to put a PostNet barcode (the only kind Word
can do without third-party assistance) on any mail. The post office will have to go to extra effort to cover your useless barcode and print a barcode in the correct current format, so you'll actually slow the delivery of your mail. If you really _must_ do it, though, here's how: 1. Insert a bookmark that covers the address, or at least the zip code (which must be a US 5-digit or 9-digit ZIP or ZIP+4). 2. Place the cursor where you want the barcode. 3. On the Insert ribbon, in the Text group, click Quick Parts and then click Field in the dropdown. 4. In the Field dialog, select BarCode from the list of field names. In the Field Properties area in the center of the dialog, select the bookmark from step 1. In the Field Options area, confirm that the PostNet option is checked. Click OK. On Sat, 22 Dec 2007 11:55:00 -0800, denmarfl wrote: How can I manually insert a bar code?
