How to make a bar code in Excel? You can create a barcode generator in Excel in many ways: using a macro, ActiveX tool and developed modules. Consider the example of one of the specialized products. It is absolutely free. Therefore, it is impossible to appraise this article as an advertising one.
I need to create labels in Microsoft Word 2010 with numbers encoded as barcodes. The barcode's format (ean, code39, upc, etc) does not matter. I have downloaded a barcode conversion font that I found at.When I type the number that I want and then I format it with my new font, it produces a barcode. I then print it on an OKI laser printer (1200 dpi).
The result seems to be fine, at least for common people.But, when I try to scan it, nothing happens. I tried both with a barcode scanner and a data collector, but neither of them read the barcode. My barcode scanner is working fine, because I can read commercial barcodes printed on products.Does anybody have any advice? How do I do this kind of stuff? I want to do it using Word because I will generate labels using Mail Merge.

Therefore using external programs aren't option for me. To reinforce what others are saying you need to understand the defined format for the type of barcode you are trying to print.
For example Code 128 requires a START and STOP character as well as a CHECKSUM. If you have not included these as part of your data string then the barcode scanner will not make any sense of your barcode. Some other things to consider with barcode fonts are -Quite zones - you need white space before and after your barcode.Font spacing - only print with fixed font spacing. Any auto spacing may make your spaces to wide or too narrow between the bars.

Self-checking fonts are easy to use in Microsoft Access and may beentered directly from the keyboard. If these self-checking barcode fonts cannotbe used, refer to the for proper product suggestions.For example, to create a barcode that encodes the data '1234ABCD'with the Code 39 Font, use the following formula =('!' & Table.Field& '!'
) in the control source field where Table.Field pointsto the table and field that contains the data to encode.Tabs and returns may be added with Code 39 fonts(in) between fields from a Microsoft Access report by inserting=('!' & Table.Field & '!' ) in the control source field whereTable.Field points to the table and field that contains the datato encode.

The width of the column mayneed to be sized to contain the entire symbol. Print and scan the barcode to verify the correct data isencoded. If a scanner is needed to verify barcodes, IDAutomationrecommends the.Combining Multiple Excel Columns Into a BarcodeTabs and returns may be added with Code 39 fonts (in) between cells by inserting '$I' (for a tab) or '$M' (for areturn.)

Highlight the entire column by selecting the rectanglelabeled 'B' at the top of the spreadsheet and choose Edit - Paste.The formulas may take some time to re-calculate if the spreadsheetis large.
With the entirecolumn that contains the formula selected, choose the IDAutomationHC39Sor IDAutomationHC39XS font included in the Code 39 Font AdvantagePackage, or an appropriate font of your choice. IDAutomationfonts with XS heights are designed to automatically adjust to thesmallest format and automatically adjust to the correct column height.The barcodes will then appear in the entire column. With the entire column that contains the formula still selected, choose theappropriate point size. In this example, 12 points is used. With the entirecolumn that contains the formula highlighted, choose the centertext option so the barcode is in the center of the field.
Size thecolumn so it is wide enough to contain the generated symbol. Print and scan the barcode(s) to verify the correct data is encoded.
