The BARCODE field still works in Word 2007, the same as in Word 2003
and earlier. All that was removed was the check box in the Envelopes
and Labels dialog for adding it automatically; now you have to do it
manually.

The Help topic about the field is available online at
http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...&respos=1&rt=2

The fact remains that the Post Office won't make any use of the
PostNet barcode generated by this field because it's obsolete, and
putting it on your envelopes might actually make your mail take longer
to arrive if they have to reprocess it manually.

Thanks for the answer....

I am simply looking for a way to put a bar code on the envelope as in Word
2007. I am not a bulk mailer. I can do it, but the required procedure takes
too long....

Microsoft took out the capability in Word 2007 (except by a round about
process) of printing a postal bar code on Envelopes. Is there a free or
inexpensive add-in I can use to do this?
