No, I mean an ASCII character that looks like a box. I entered what is being
printed on the envelope EXACTLY (except for the box character). Field codes
IS unchecked, as is the POSTNET option.
How do I delete this barcode field from the envelope? It appears whether I
use a mail merge table or a single address from TOOLS, ENVELOPES, etc.

Do you mean: {BARCODE "{MERGEFIELD ZIP}"62736-0001}"\u} ?
Tools options print uncheck 'field codes'
It seems you have a barcode field on your envelope.
The barcode produced by Word is POSTNET.
The USPS no longer accepts that format for bulk mail discounts -- see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290. You might as well not use the
barcode feature at all.

I'm using Word 2003 SP2. Recently, every time I print an envelope or
try a mail merge (from Access or Word) I am getting a line of
characters that don't make any sense.
It starts above the address, in the middle of the envelope and reads:
(A box
character)BARCODE " (BOX)MERGEFIELD zip (BOX)62736-
0001(BOX)
"\u
Neither the return address or the addressee have that zip code. I have
checked to see if there are any hidden codes, but see none.
I beieve it started after one of the MS automatic updates but can't
prove it since I don't do envelopes too often.
Any HELP?
