How do I print the postal address barcode on envelopes?
Word 2003 had an option when creating an envelope, to add a postal barcode so
that the address of a letter could be read electonically. How do you do this in Word 2007? |

How do I print the postal address barcode on envelopes?
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. However you can still manually insert a bar code field if you wish. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pgqort wrote: Word 2003 had an option when creating an envelope, to add a postal barcode so that the address of a letter could be read electonically.

How do I print the postal address barcode on envelopes?
As Graham Mayor replied, the answer to your question may be moot, but
the answer is... In Word 2007, you can't simply check the barcode box in the Labels dialog anymore, but you can still manually insert the { BARCODE } field on your label by clicking on Insert | QuickParts | Field | Field names: BarCode. pgqort wrote: Word 2003 had an option when creating an envelope, to add a postal barcode so that the address of a letter could be read electonically.

You don't want to add a barcode unless you are doing bulk mail, automated address correction, or one of the other enhanced USPS features that makes use of the barcode. Unless you are submitting your mail via one of those methods so that USPS knows that you are submitting barcoded mail, you don't even really save the step of it going through the barcoding equipment at USPS because they don't know to bypass that step. If you are bulk mailing or doing business reply, etc, where USPS requires or offers a discount for bulk mailing, you have to first get USPS-certified nine-digit zips. For details on how to do that and how to use them to create the barcode, see www.bulkmail.info/cass.html Hope that helps. Scott |
