Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

2. Calculate the number that is needed to add to this number to make the last digit of the

sum a zero (0).That is, 15 + ? = ?0 The answer in this case is: '5'.

e.g.. 15 + 5 = 20

3. Add this number to the postal code as the last digit. In this example, the POSTNET

sequence is now: 123455

4. Finally, wrap the digit sequence in square brackets. The final text for the POSTNET

bar code should now be [123455]

When one formats this text using the POSTNET bar code font, a POSTNET bar code. For

example, enter [123455] into Writer, select the whole [123455] text and change the font

to the POSTNET bar code font that has been installed.

Note: Calculating this sequence, and putting it on an envelope easily may prove problematic. Perhaps others can

help out with automating the process; however,by using a database or spreadsheet to store an address list, then

one could simply add a POSTNET sequence column with the postal code pre-computed in POSTNET format or

perhaps as format the bar code as part of a database query. Using OpenOffice.org macros is yet another way to

obtain results .

With respect to using 9 digit postal codes, where there is a 5 digit zip plus 4 digit suffix, the

rules are the same. Add all 9 digits, find the check digit (sum + check = ?0), append

that digit to make 10 digits and, finally wrap the sequence in square brackets. e.g.

[1234567895]

There is apparently another two digit code that can be added if it is wanted, and the same rule

applies for the 11 digit version to make a 12 digit code wrapped in [].

All three forms are valid.
