Adding a Barcode to a Label template

[Guest]

I would like to be able to have a label template that will allow me to have a barcode above the address. This template will be used when I have one or two address to be placed into the label. Creating a data source would be too much work for only 2 addresses. Could someone please give me a solution to my problem. Thank you for your time.

You can insert a barcode by hand:

1. Type BARCODE \u "00000-0000" (where 00000-0000 is the ZIP code in the
address).

2. Select the text you just typed and press Ctrl+F9, then F9.

Alternatively, you can bookmark each ZIP code and use the bookmark name in
the BARCODE field. The result will be:

{ BARCODE "Bookmark" \b \u }

For more, see Word's Help under "Field codes: Barcode field."

Suzanne thank you so much. I tried using your alternative in a form, the only way the barcode appeared is when I unlocked the form. I was wondering if there is a way for the barcode to appear without locking the form

Thanks anyway Suzanne. I thought that might be a difficult feat.
