Default put back the bar code for envelopes

The United State post office would appreciate it if you gave MS Word users
the ability to print zip code bar codes on the bottom of our envelopes again,
so would I!

According to the information at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/897290, the POSTNET bar code
that Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts.
Most significantly, the USPS now requires online verification of addresses
before the USPS will qualify a business or an organization for a bulk
mailing discount.

For more information about how to qualify for a bulk mailing discount, visit
the following USPS Web site:

The USPS doesn't care, and neither should you. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897290 for explanation.

If you're really determined to use the POSTNET code, you can insert a
BARCODE field from the Insert Quick Parts Fields dialog.
