What is the font name used for Bar Codes
If you mean the PostNet bar code that Word puts on envelopes and labels,
that's created directly by the {Barcode} field and doesn't use any installed font. If you want TrueType bar code fonts, start at http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/share.html. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

What is the font name used for Bar Codes
Well, that's mostly true. The Windows Fonts folder (at least on my machine)
has links to two fonts, PostNetHrTt and PostNetTt, which contain the characters used for PostNet barcodes (the first also has numbers), but users cannot create valid PostNet codes by applying these fonts to ZIP codes; this is done, as Jay says, by the BARCODE field. Unfortunately, the PostNet barcode that Word generates no longer qualifies for USPS bulk mailing discounts. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897290 -- Suzanne S.

I don't see those fonts in my Fonts folder here (Office 2003 on Windows
2000). I'll check the home machine later, but I think you might have gotten them with some other software. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Perhaps so; I've got a slew of apps. g They're not actually in the Fonts
folder; let me see where the shortcuts go to: Ah, they are two of 79 fonts in the C:\COREL\BARCODE\FONTS\TTF folder, so they came with CorelDRAW. Sorry for the red herring. -- Suzanne S.
