Printing labels w/barcodes specially #8161

[Polly Ann]

Trouble with barcode that print {BARCIDE ENV_ZIPCODE1\b\u}
but does not the actual barcodes needed for post office
reading. spent 4 days trying to figure this out.
Also, wish to print page of different address not the
"same address for l page" or "single address".

I think I am having the same issue, except my mail merge
has individual, different mailing labels on each page,
but then the next page has the exact same ones, but has
bumped one and added one new one. So I have 6 labels per
page, but every sheet is the same except for one new,
diffrent label. Is this the same problem you are having?

Hi Polly,

Trouble with barcode that print {BARCIDE ENV_ZIPCODE1\b\u}
but does not the actual barcodes needed for post office
reading. spent 4 days trying to figure this out.
Also, wish to print page of different address not the
"same address for l page" or "single address".

Which version of Word?
How are the barcodes not correct?
What steps, more exactly, did you follow when generating the
barcode?

for different addresses, you need Tools/Mail Merge, not
Envelopes and labels. And the different addresses have to be
in a list (set up like a table with a column for each item
of information such as name, address, city, street...).

From the sound of it, I'd say you're looking at the data
preview. You need to actually EXECUTE the merge, to either
a new document or the printer.
