Bar Code Placement?
Hello,
I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003. When I use: Tools Letters and Mailings Envelopes and Labels and add a bar code for zip codes the code is added above the mailing address. How can I make it appear below the address? Thanks, Dbm |

Only by setting up your own template. There is no option to do this through
the Envelopes and Labels dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Bar Code Placement?
I don't know how to make the bar code appear below the
address, but I printed 36 Christmas card envelopes last year and the bar code printed above all addresses. This fact didn't bother the U.S. Postal Service since all cards were delivered promptly. Personally, I wouldn't lose sleep over the issue. Mail gets to its destination regardless of the bar code's location. If you do discover the answer for forcing the bar code below the address, please post it in this newsgroup. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Only by setting up your own template.

Well, I should have added that postal regulations do not require the bar
code to be at the bottom, but users who want them at the bottom are rarely influenced by this information. -- Suzanne S.

Bar Code Placement?
Hi Douglas,
Select the barcode. Ctrl+X to cut it. Click where you want it. Ctrl+V to paste it. I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003. When I use: Tools Letters and Mailings Envelopes and Labels and add a bar code for zip codes the code is added above the mailing address. How can I make it appear below the address?

This won't help if Douglas is using the Envelopes and Labels dialog because
(a) the dialog does not display the bar code, so there is nothing to cut and paste, and (b) very likely Douglas wants the bar code at the bottom of the envelope, not just below the address. Even if Douglas uses Add to Document to create an editable envelope, cut and paste will not be easy because the delivery address is in a frame, and the bar code would have to be pasted outside the frame (which by default would put it immediately below the return address). -- Suzanne S.

Bar Code Placement?
I must admit this is fascinating stuff.
Yes, I am interested in placing the bar code below the address because of personal preference. So, I suppose fooling around with a template may be the way to go for now.

Bar Code Placement?
To do this you'll need to put the BARCODE field in another frame (you can
set the vertical position as Bottom Relative to Margin if you define the bottom margin correctly). It will need to reference a bookmark that encompasses the Envelope Address frame. -- Suzanne S.

Bar Code Placement?
Way, way too much trouble for appearance's sake, methinks. How many of us
spend more than two seconds admiring an envelope when it arrives in the mail? Everyone is different. Suppose that's why the Microsoft Word Gods created templates--so that each of us can go off into a corner and beat our brains out trying to accomplish something unique...even if our achievement makes not one whit of difference to the world or to the Postal Service. Somehow, I suspect that the Microsoft Word Gods spoke to the U.S. Postal Service about the placement of the bar code before they hard-coded the bar code's printing. Go for it, Douglas. Let us know how you made out. Suggest you add the following text to the front of your envelope: "Please admire this envelope's bar code because I worked like a possessed fiend to relocate it to the bottom." (Grin.) Good luck!

Bar Code Placement?
I think Douglas, like many other users, has noted that the USPS itself
prints bar codes across the bottom of the envelope (which must be left free for that purpose, with the exception that bar codes can be printed there). In fact, if you print a bar code there, you'll often find that your envelope arrives with a (slightly different) bar code printed across the bottom of the back side. Recent versions of Word, I understand, are not actually able to print an 11-digit bar code (in any position) that conforms to USPS requirements for bulk mail. -- Suzanne S.
