Postnet Code Printing

[Mofo]

Can publisher print Postnet code like word can in address information? I
have a newletter to mail out and it would certainly be nice to print our the
Postnet code. If not, does anyone have any suggestions on add-ins or third
party software to accomplish this in Publisher?

TIA

You will need to install a postnet bar code font into your Windows Font
folder.

But should it not already contain a Postnet bar code since Word will print
one out? I don't see anyway to set it up as you would in Word. I'm still
using my Beta version of Office 11, if that should make any difference.

I was thinking that it would expediate the mailings because they would not
need to be hand sorted. I'll look for Ed's site. Thanks!

Mofo,

Visit Ed Bennet's site. He has a full explanation about bar codes and
how to use them. Be aware, simply adding a bar code will not save you
any money in postage, at least in the US.
