KAMI, you might want to hook up with IDAutomation: http://www.idautomation.com/openoffice/ The US Postal Service/USPS are phasing out the Postnet barcode and converting to the Intelligent Mail ® barcode: http://ribbs.usps.gov/ http://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intelligentmail http://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailsuite The ability to easily add a USPS barcode to a mailmerge/label in OOo will be a tremendous boost to OOo. IDAutomation offer a commercial package for $139 USD with OOo macros, but with a little work it should be possible to offer a open extension to do the same. Note: I wouldn't want to bypass IDAutomations hard work, but with some negotiations perhaps they'd be willing to assist. In the past I've simply used an open postnet barcode for US postal codes. But with the new Intelligent Mail ® barcode I'm unsure what to usel so I'll continue to use my older postnet barcode font. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
