address bar code

[microjam]

I have office home & student 2007 and when I print an envelope it does not
have an option for a bar code. What version do I need for this? Is it an
option download?
Thank you all!

POSTNET bar codes were dropped from Office 2007 (all editions) because they
were no longer compliant with USPS requirements; see "The POSTNET bar code
that Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290

You can still insert a bar code manually using Insert | Text | Quick Parts |
Field..., but there's not much point in doing so.
