Zip Code Bar Codes in Word 2007

[Joyce C in Texas]

Why are the Zip Code Bar Codes now missing from Word 2007? There is
absolutely no way to do add these to an envelope now and having this feature
in the past was great because it actually helps the mail be delivered
quicker! Why did Microsoft take it away?!!!

Is there any way to add it to a Word 2007 document now?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You can't simply check the barcode box in the Envelope dialog anymore,
but you can still manually insert the { BARCODE } field on your
envelope. Note that Word's postal barcodes do not comply with current
USPS regulations. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290 "The
POSTNET bar code that Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk
mailing discounts" for more information.

Thanks, SO very much Garfield-n-Odie (who, by the way, are my ALL time
favorite cartoon characters!)
