barcode address in a letter

[Brenda]

I am doing a mail merge of 2500 documents. I want to put
a macro in the letter to add the zip code barcode under
the address on the letter itself to show through a window
envelope and can't see how to do this.

Insert a MergeField. The simplest way to do it is probably to Insert the
merge field for the zip code using the mail merge toolbar or helper. Put
quotation marks around that field and select it. Press Ctrl-F9. This puts
field markers around it. Type the word BarCode in front of your zipcode
field. When you finish, if you press Alt-F9 to reveal field codes you should
see something like:

{ BARCODE "{ MERGEFIELD "ZIP" }" }

Press F9 and Alt-F9 again to update the field and hide the codes.
