Adding Delivery Point Barcode to Existing Label list
I have an existing list of address labels but need to change the
mailing address of one individual. How do I add the Delivery Point Barcode to that single label? I thought that when you typed-in the zip code, it added the DPB automatically, but apparently not! Thanks! Bill |

Press Alt+F9 to see what the BARCODE field syntax is. If the list was
created by a mail merge, most likely the field will contain the actual ZIP, which you can edit. But note that the bar codes are noncompliant and therefore superfluous. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne, but whatever happened to the USPS "insisting" on
putting those codes on all mail! Maybe it really didn't speed things up after all!!!! Bill On Tue, 14 Dec 2010 20:43:54 -0600, "Suzanne S.

Adding Delivery Point Barcode to Existing Label list
Well, they are still required for bulk mail discounts, but Word is not
capable of producing USPS-compliant bar codes and consequently has omitted the feature from current versions. When you send ordinary first class mail, your envelope or label is scanned and a bar code printed on the mail piece by USPS equipment. There's no question the bar codes speed processing and routing, but they're primarily valuable for bulk mail. -- Suzanne S.
