For anything else, you need to get either a barcode font for the proper type of code, or an add-in or separate program that creates barcodes as graphic images. From what I've read, graphic barcode generators are better (their codes are more easily read by scanners), but of course they're more expensive. As usual, Google will give you a lot to read. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Here is an online barcode generator that I've found useful in the past: http://www.idautomation.com/serverco...erControl.aspx |
