Incorrect Postnet Barcode in Merge
I am trying to get Word 2003 to print the entire Delivery
Point Barcode (Zip + Zip4 + DPBC)in a merge document, but no matter how many of the Merge Fields I use, Word will only produce a 5-digit based Postnet barcode. I was able to accomplish this in Word 2000 using the following syntax; {BARCODE "{MERGEFIELD ZIP}-{MERGEFIELD ZIP4}{MERGEFIELD DPBC}}"\u} produces the full Postnet Delivery Point Barcode. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work in Word2003??? |

Incorrect Postnet Barcode in Merge
I am not sure about the DPBC part of it, but to get the Zip + Zip4 to work,
you will have to use {BARCODE {QUOTE {MERGEFIELD ZIP}"-"{MERGEFIELD ZIP4} } } Quite likely {BARCODE {QUOTE {MERGEFIELD ZIP}"-"{MERGEFIELD ZIP4}{MERGEFIELD DPBC} } } will give the whole thing. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP "R. M. Smith" wrote in message ...
