You can still insert barcode fields manually - in fact, if you have an
existing document that contains one that works, I'd copy/paste it into your Word 2007 document. If you need further info on the exact format of a BARCODE field, search this group using Google groups. The problem with the barcodes inserted by Word is not just to do with the fact that you can't use this software to get bulk discounts. It's also to do with the fact that for multi-unit addresses (apartment blocks etc.) the geenrated barcodes may be incorrect because the USPS changed the algorithm several years ago and Word did not keep up. In other words, your mail might not be handled correctly by the USPS. I am told that barcodes generated from 9-digit ZIP codes are correct, but have no means of verifying that that is still correct. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Bob" wrote in message ...

Thanks. From reading here, it sounded like it was just because of the
discount.
