If I set up the page as an envelope, is there a way to insert the postal bar
code?

I know Tools/Envelope will create an envelope with the ability to insert the
bar code, but I want to use my own formatted envelope as a page setup

Thanks

First insert a bookmark to cover the address, or at least the zip code
part of it; or, if this is a protected form, note the bookmark name of
the field that contains the zip code.

Use Insert Field and choose the Barcode field. Indicate the name of
the bookmark that contains the zip code.

I'm having a problem w/ this

part of it; or, if this is a protected form, note the bookmark name of
the field that contains the zip code.

I highlighted the zip code and inserted bookmark, named it ZipCode and added it. ZipCode is now bracketed



Use Insert Field and choose the Barcode field. Indicate the name of
the bookmark that contains the zip code.


Here I'm confused. I end up with

{BARCODE \ ZipCode}

but that toggles to

Zip code not valid!

Where did I go wrong

Thanks

The correct syntax is { BARCODE ZipCode \b }.
