After a re-install of Microsoft Office 2003 and all updates I get the same
unreadable bar code for every address. How can I correct it?

Perhaps you need a new barcode font? I don't believe Word 2003 even CAME
with the barcode font that previous versions came with. Someone will surely
correct me if I'm wrong. :)

This facility has been dropped from Word because the Postnet Bar Codes that
it did generate are of no benefit to the USPS

Here is some more information on the subject from a recent exchange in these
newsgroups:

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
