USPS Approved Automation Program

Can anyone recommend a low cost automation program approved for use by
USPS that will spit out Zip+4 and bar codes for automation sorting
labels?

(Since the USPS changed requirements in 2007, Word and other basic WP
programs will not meet USPS requirements.)

Thanks.

Claude

Microsoft Word was never sufficient for qualifying for discounts, but it
could produce a correct barcode when given sufficient coding
information. Just use an older version if you still have it.

Dude, I'd urge you not to crosspost random questions among numerous
newsgroups you don't participate in. Read groups for a while to learn
strengths and weaknesses and choose the appropriate one to participate in.

Sorry, I must have confused you. The question is... can anyone recommend
a low cost automation program approved for use by USPS that will spit
out Zip+4 and bar codes for automation sorting labels?

No, I understood your question. Microsoft Word had nothing to do with
ZIP+4 encoding. As you made a comment on Microsoft Word anyway, I made a
comment on your comment.

Sorry to bother you, Adam, with such a stupid question. Which newsgroup are you monitoring and I will drop it off my list.

What if I say all groups you've crossposted to? Do you really intend to
stop posting to Usenet?
