The 2003version allowed for labels to be printed with bar codes. There was a
box you clicked on and te bar code would appear at the top of each label.
There is no bar code option for the label making process. For my job this is
a necessity. What needs to be done to get this option available again?

Although the automatic insertion of barcodes through the Label dialog has been
removed for the reason explained in the KB article, the Barcode field is still
available for manual insertion (Insert Quick Parts Field BarCode).

The other annoying bit is that although the field is still usable, there isn't
any Help topic for it in the Office 2007 documentation. The Office 2003 version
at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...862051033.aspx is still accurate,
though.
