------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jun 7 15:34:14 +0000 2008 ------- This issue has been discussed since June of 2002 when OOo 1.0 was new. It is now June of 2008, and I am using OOo 3.0 beta. It is hard to believe that there is still no inclusion of this feature. At present my work-around is to print all of my envelopes using WordPerfect, which, like MS Word, has this feature and has had this feature for years. Not a way to win converts to OOo. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) site that jcuccia linked to above states that the new "Intelligent Mail® barcode technology, among other things, combines the capabilities of the POSTNET barcode and the Planet Code® barcode into one unique barcode." The term "Planet Code" hints that the rest of the world may soon adopt to using the barcode system for automated mail sorting, making the need for the inclusion of this feature in OOo a world wide requirement. As some U.S. States, such as Massachusetts, now require all governmental and judicial documents to be in Open Document format, it would seem that OOo is poised to become the document writer of choice for government bureaucracies and the legal profession, and yet OOo still lacks this envelope addressing feature. Having worked in law offices for years, I know that law offices address a lot of envelopes daily. There is a need for this barcode feature in a word processor to be used in office environments. As fsk pointed out years ago, the feature does not seem so complex in concept. Is anyone working on this request? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
