I am using Word 2003. I want to add a vertical barcode on the front of an
envelope to the left of the address bar. It is not a zipcode. It is an
identifier for the letter inside. How do I make the barcode print vertically?
When I set up the DB I gave it a vertical orientation. It still prints on the
horizontal plane. I tried to create a separate text box for the barcode.
Didn't know how to accomlish this from within the mail-merge wizard.

Without knowing anything about your bar code or how it gets on the envelope
it is not easy to advise, however you may be able to put it in a borderless
text box or better still a table cell and rotate the content of the text
box/cell before merging.

Thanks! The table cell works nicely. I don't know much about using tables yet
with a little fiddling plus the use of your website, I was able to make it
just like I want.
