Word 2000 Postal Bar Code

[Brynk]

If I set up the page as an envelope, is there a way to insert the postal bar
code?

I know Tools/Envelope will create an envelope with the ability to insert the
bar code, but I want to use my own formatted envelope as a page setup

Thanks

First insert a bookmark to cover the address, or at least the zip code
part of it; or, if this is a protected form, note the bookmark name of
the field that contains the zip code.

Use Insert > Field and choose the Barcode field. Indicate the name of
the bookmark that contains the zip code.

I'm having a problem w/ this

I highlighted the zip code and inserted bookmark, named it ZipCode and added it. ZipCode is now bracketed



Here I'm confused. I end up with

{BARCODE \ ZipCode}

but that toggles to

Zip code not valid!

Where did I go wrong

Thanks

The correct syntax is { BARCODE ZipCode \b }.
