Postnet Barcodes in Word

[Gregg]

I know that you CAN NOT use word to figure out a correct
POSTNET barcode using the address / zip field
combination. I am now using the Delivery point field
with the Zip code field for my {BARCODE "field DP Field
zip4"} creation and it seems to be working. Is this a
good work around?

Hi Gregg,

Both ways generate a Barcode field; I think the main
difference is how it's put together. From the example you
show us above, I'd say some information and switches are
missing from your Barcode field, but if it's working, it's
working
