atw: Re: Australian Standards for Letters

Symptoms

In an earlier version of Microsoft Office Word, I was able to get a bulk
mailing discount on my mailings by inserting a POSTNET bar code, as well as
a FIM-A code on envelopes and labels. In Microsoft Office Word 2007, I
cannot find the options for adding these codes to my envelopes and labels.
Cause

Periodically, the United States Postal Service (USPS) changes the way it
calculates postal bar codes. When this happens, bulk mail that uses the bar
codes generated by Word may not be accepted by the USPS. To avoid providing
bar codes that may become obsolete, Microsoft has removed this feature from
Office Word 2007.
