Inserting barcodes
How do I make mailing barcodes dispaly on a document or on to an envelope when mail merging multiple addresses? I can do it for a single address but not for muliple addresses.
Thanks for helping. Bill |

Inserting barcodes
Hi Bill
Insert the mergefield containing the zipcode inside a { BARCODE } field as follows { BARCODE { MERGEFIELD "Zip" } } If you are inserting the field codes from the keyboard, you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the Field delimiters. Under the Control Panel Regional and Language Options utility, the Standards and formats under the Regional Options tab must be set to English (United States) otherwise, the field will return Zip code not valid! -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Bill We don't use barcodes in the UK, so this answer is more of an intelligent guess than something I can reproduce here. The barcode is reproduced by a field and presumably that field is not updating correctly in the merge; so merge to a new document, select that document (CTRL+A) ande press F9 to update the fields. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word |

Inserting barcodes
Hi Graham,
If under the Control Panel Regional and Language Options utility, the Standards and formats under the Regional Options tab you select English (United States) you can get the barcodes to display. My experience of inserting the zipcode mergefield inside a barcode field is that the barcodes are automatically updated. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.
