Postal bar code in Word 2000

Hi Word people,

My goodness, you have a lot of Word newsgroups.  I couldn't find one about
mail merge in general, so I'm in this one with this question.

The client has Word 2000.  In the mail merge helper for envelopes (Tools -
Mail Merge - Envelopes) there's a place to specify that the postal bar code
is wanted.  It seems that later, when we've created our merge document for
envelopes, specified the data source, etc., we can't go back and change this
spec.  We can't find a place to add the bar code later.  I can't verify any
of this here in my office, because I have Word 2002, and the whole mail
merge thing is different.  But if anyone can shed light for Word 2000, I'll
give it a go when I'm back at the client's next week.

Thanks.

As the barcodes produced by Word are (I understand) no longer compliant with
the requirements of the US postal services, there is not much point wasting
time over this issue.
