Post Code in Word 2007
Ini prior releases of Word a post code could be placed on the top or bottom
of an address for an envelope or label. In Word 2007, it is missing. Anyone know where it went? -- BJW45 |

The check box was removed from the dialog because the PostNet barcode that it produces is no longer valid for bulk mail discounts (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290). You can still manually insert a BARCODE field wherever you like. -- 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. |

Post Code in Word 2007
I haven't looked to confirm, but if it was dropped there are probaly at
least 2 valid reasons: 1- The postal bar codes in Word were never updated to the new USPS specs & were therefore obsolete & innacurate, and 2- Postal Bar Codes on individual pieces of mail are a waste of ink & space in the first place. Actually I did just confirm - search Word Help using keyword: bar code for details. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "BJW45" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Post Code in Word 2007
From what I've read of your replies the postcode was not in keeping with USPS
guidelines and therefore useless. I'll take the approach of "saving ink" by not worrying about it in future.
