How do I keyin zeroes to display and print with a line through it to
differentiate them from the letter O? We have bar coding software and hand
held scanners and if they fail, we have to enter by hand. It's very
confusing. We do code 39 labels in word and excel but I would assume that
the change is somewhat the same. Thanks, Dave

You need to use a font that has zeros with a slash through them already.
One would think that for a barcode software, there should be
specifications which font to use.

Depending on which side of the Atlantic (if any .-)) you are living, I
suggest you look for OCR type A or B (OCR-A or OCR-B).
