Bar Code for Zip Code

I recently upgraded to Office 2007. I want to print envelopes using Word and
have the postal bar code and FMA show on the envelope. With Word 2000 it was
an option. I am unable to find a way to do it with Word 2007

Hi Revadeux,

The 'Postnet' barcode field is still available although not through the envelopes & labels dialog, but not recommended. It no
longer meets the U.S. Postal service requirements it was designed to meet back in Word 6, for example, online verification of zip
codes.

It's not your fault of course, Bob, but can I say that it is
colossal arrogance and indifference on MS's part not to update
their program to meet the Post Office requirements.
