FWIW MSWord stopped offering the barcode option for mail in the 2007 (?) version and did not restore it in Word 2010.
I, too, like Option 4! . and suggest the smelliest Limburger you can find!!

So I am guessing that at least DPPrint will no longer print correct barcodes. I don't know about DPSpool, but would guess it uses the same barcodes. This will also be a problem in WordPerfect, until or unless they include the new barcodes in an update. When I was printing envelopes or labels in WP, I used to print the barcodes. At some point I was chastised severely, and told in no uncertain terms that I had to stop that. Turns out that all the mail from the University is processed by a local company, Presort Plus, which sorts all mailings according to USPS delivery standards, and in that process prints the appropriate barcodes on each piece. With my pre-printed barcodes, there was a severe conflict, so I don't do that any more. No longer severely chastised (at least for that). :) I attempted to find out the specifics of the new barcode specs, but found very little info. Rich PS: I like #4 At 10:08 AM 11/2/2011, you wrote: If you're talking about a Postnet (US Postal Service) barcode, both DPPrint and DPSpool can print a zip code as a bar code using the ;;P field modifier. If you're talking about other bar codes, you will likely have to find a bar code font and then select it using the DPSpool font codes. Tim Rude
