How to print barcodes NOT on labels or envelopes? sondra 24.09.2006 01:04:01 Printing barcodes works with labels and envelopes, but how can I print a barcode when I'm in a regular document, or when using a template for labels?

Re: How to print barcodes NOT on labels or envelopes? Jay Freedman <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> 24.09.2006 02:46:06 Use the Insert > Field dialog to insert a BARCODE field. If you type "barcode" into the Help search, you'll find a topic that describes what needs to go into the field code. The BARCODE field can produce only US PostNet barcodes, not any of the other kinds such as Code 39 (also called 3of9) or UPC/EAN. And the PostNet codes generated by Word are no longer accepted by the USPS for bulk rate reduction (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290), so they're pretty well useless. For information about fonts and other considerations for the other barcode types, see http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/share.html. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

RE: How to print barcodes NOT on labels or envelopes? sondra 24.09.2006 03:07:01 Thank you Jay. When I go to Insert>Field>Barcodes, I don't know how to fill in the blanks, so get error messages. This is a start, but a little more help is needed.

This tip discusses mail merge letters, but the same principle can be applied to ordinary letters; just copy the bar code from an envelope or label to the letter. -- Suzanne S.
