Problem

Solutions: Customer wants to place the bar code at the bottom edge of an envelope, rather than just below the mailing address, in the Envelope feature.

To place the bar code on the bottom edge of an envelope, the envelope paper size must first be selected, rather than using the Envelope feature. To do this, select Format or Layout|Page|Paper Size and select the business envelope size (Com 10) or other desired envelope size.

After positioning and typing the return and mailing addresses, use the Advance feature (found under Format or Layout|Typesetting in WPWin6.x products, or Layout|Other in WPDos6.x products). First, under Horizontal Position select From Left Edge of Page and type in for Horizontal Distance about 4" (this will vary depending on number of digits used in the bar code and the envelope size). Then, under Vertical Position select From Top of Page and type in for Vertical Distance about 3.75" (this will once again vary depending on the envelope size and font size). Then, press Enter or click on OK back to the document screen.

Next, select and type in the bar code. To do this in WPWin6.x products, select Insert from the pulldown menus, then Other, then Bar Code and type in the desired bar code digits and click on OK. In WPDos6.x products select Layout|Other|Bar Code and once again type in the desired bar code digits.

Another time-saver is to record a keystroke macro that stops right at the bar code input screen to save a few keystrokes if this feature is to be used repeatedly.
