MS Word

I have Win 2000 Pro, with it came installed Word 2000.  I have not used Office (not installed  nor registered?) I bought the Dimension 8100 from Dell back on 2001. Today I tried to use Word for the first time to make address labels.  To my surprise the labels do not accept a barcode.  According to my research on Microsoft support there are several labels that do not accept the barcode and they are listed.  I tried to use the labels that are not listed and no one will accept the barcode.
My question:  does anyone knows which labels Word 2000 accepts for envelope address?
By the way Word 2000, when you click on it, the splash window shows Windows XP.

    I use Office 2K and I have no problem getting barcodes on envelopes or labels. I wonder if your label is too small to fit everything.

    I have Microsoft Word 2000 Ver. 10.0 Build 2627.  When I go to Envelopes and Options, that part is grayed out.  I wonder if the fact that I have not registered the Windows Office XP have something to do with it.

    I wonder if you actually have Word. It does not come with Windows. You might have Works word processor instead. If you do have Word (look at Help, About) go to Envelopes & Labels, Options button to select the barcode option.

    That should not affect Word 2000 unless you installed Word 2002 over it. Office XP has Word 2002 and should not be installed with earlier versions. Envelopes and labels depends on Outlook Address Book, so if you haven't set up Outlook, that might be your problem.

    I do have Outlook Express.  But I found that my problem is that Word will not allow to type different addresses in a 30 label sheet with a bar code.  So, I decided to use Word Perfect that does not have such a restriction.  Thank you very much for your answer.

    Outlook Express is not Outlook and does not use the Outlook address book. Word uses only Outlook's address book, so that was the problem. Glad you found a workaround.
