Default How do I change numbers into bar code in Word?

Howdy Fridriksson,

I don't know about in 2007, but the following is true about 2003 and
eariler. The only kind of barcode Word can print without assistance is a
PostNet code
for a postal ZIP code, by using a BARCODE field. For any other kind of
barcode, you need either a special font or a separate program that generates
the barcodes as graphics for inclusion in a Word document.

You need to decide first what kind of barcode you need. The Code 39 and UPC
codes are probably the most common, but there are many more.

Here are some links that are worth looking at:

they maybe able to work with Word 2007
