Thanks Peter,

Yes, I am using nice cleanly printed labels and I guess they ought to be
able to scan that without a problem. I'll just stick to originating my
merges from Outlook because the ability to select individual contacts and/or
filter is much easier/better than doing it from Word, and I'll forget about
barcoding.

If it is any comfort, the USPS claims that its systems handle "properly
addressed mail" as efficiently as barcoded mail. They may not put it
precisely like that, and it may be that then mean "properly addressed with
an address that's printed rather than handwritten" but perhaps the
recognistion equipment can cop e with practically anything these days.
