Zip Code Plus 4 Microsoft Word VBA Macro

[tonyrulesyall]

I am using Microsoft Word 2000 and Windows XP.

I would like to take an address, send it to the US Post Office
website:

http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp

Format the address as the Post Office likes it, and put in the zip
plus four zip code.

Has someone already written the code for this?

If not, any ideas how to do it? Examples would be greatly appreciated.

I would doubt that it is possible to write code that would interact with
that website, but there maybe a possibility to do what you want if you were
to get hold of the AIS Viewer database file to which there is a link on that
page. However, it is not free and you would really need to check if even it
can be used for what you want as the product information contains the
statement "The data is encrypted and cannot be exported". It also appears
to be updated on a monthly basis, which is another thing to consider.
