Barcode in Mailmerge document
Hi,
I've been looking at a number of the postings for putting a barcode into a mailmerge document. Unlike many of the examples this is not a ZIP Code, but just a number. I've tried a number of things, including creating the barcode in an envelope mailmerge and moving it (I couldn't get it work in the evelope mailmerge :-)). The most promising thing I've found is that if I type a static number with asterisks (like this *1234*) I get a bar code that prints. I'm doing this by creating merge field, putting in the *1234* and setting the font to the IDAutomation.com Code39 that I installed on my machine. This gives me a nice bar code printed in the merge document. What I need to do is do the same with a field from my data source. I've tried putting asterisks around the merge field (e.g. *merge field* in the edit field dialog) etc. I've tried putting the \b switch after the field. I will admit I'm confused. I'm haven't done a mail merge in 10 years and I'm not sure of the issues. Any help would be appreciated. Neil |
