Hi Chad ( XXXX@XXXXX.COM )
in the Microsoftnewsgroups
you posted:

|| I know it is possible to put bar codes into a mail merge
|| using MS Word but I cannot find a way to do the same with
|| MS Publisher. Is there a way?

Chad, you would need to install a postnet barcode font.

4. international postal codes - Mail merge

I am trying to import my data from Excel into Publisher 
to print mailing labels. Some addresses are international 
and the mail merge will not properly import the postal 
code if it includes Alphanumeric characters. For example: 
a Canadian postal code may look like this-- BN2 1G3. 
Publisher imports a 0 in its place. I have tried 
reformatting the cells in Excel but I still get zeros in 
Publisher. 
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

8. Still Mail Merge Problems in Pub 2002

Hi"donotknock",

I did as you recommended and converted the Excel address 
file to a CSV format.

I can access and edit that file within Publisher 2002 but 
if I choose "comma" instead of tab format, the software 
freezes.  I can get the field information from the comma 
format (although not as I want it to print) but when I go 
to print it tells me that I have too many documents to 
print (even if I select only 3 or 4 recipients from the 
list).

Now what can I do?  Thanks for your previous advice!
