Use barcodes in word

Excel 2010 Word 2010 PowerPoint 2010 Excel 2007 Word 2007 PowerPoint 2007 More…Less

If you are working with a Word document, Excel workbook, or a PowerPoint presentation that is saved to a library on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site where a policy requiring the insertion of a barcode is in effect as part of an information management policy, you may need to insert a barcode into your system file when you save or print it.

When you upload a file to a document library that has a barcode policy, a barcode is added to the item’s properties (metadata) but is not inserted into the file itself. Only when you choose to edit the document and then either save or print it is the barcode inserted into the file as an image. When you work with printed documents that contain these barcodes, you can use the barcode information displayed in the document to search for and locate the original copy of the document on an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site. This means you can easily view all of the associated workflow, metadata, audit history, and other information.

You cannot insert a barcode in a document until the site administrator or list manager configures the appropriate policy for the library.  If such a policy exists, the Barcode command appears on the Insert tab so that you can insert barcodes.

Any document that already exists in the list or library when the policy is established is not assigned a barcode (which therefore can’t be inserted) until the document is checked out and checked back in. Documents uploaded to a list or library with a barcode policy already in effect are automatically assigned barcodes that can be inserted immediately.

When a site administrator or list owner configures a barcode policy for a list or library, barcodes are automatically generated on the server for the items or documents in that list or library when the items or documents are uploaded or edited.

Depending upon how a barcode policy is configured, you may also be required to insert barcode images into documents that reside in libraries on a SharePoint site.

  1. If the library is not already open, click its name on the Quick Launch.

    If the name of your library does not appear on the Quick Launch, click View All Site Content, and then click the name of your library.

  2. Point to the document you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click the edit option for the Office program name — for example, Edit in Microsoft Office Word.

  3. Place your cursor in the location in the document where you want to insert the barcode.

  4. On the Insert tab, in the Barcode group, click Barcode.

    Barcode and Label commands on the Ribbon

    Note: The Barcode command appears on the Insert tab only if a barcode policy is in effect for a server document.

  5. Save your changes.

A library on a SharePoint site may have a barcode policy that requires you to insert a barcode when you save or print a document.

If the document does not already contain a barcode when you save or print, you are prompted to insert one. If you click Yes when prompted, the barcode is inserted in a default location.

  • If the file is read-only, the barcode is inserted at the cursor’s current location.

  • If the file is in Edit mode, the barcode is inserted in a default location.

    • In Word    The barcode is inserted in the header of the first page of the document.

    • In Excel    The barcode is inserted in the first cell on the first worksheet in the workbook.

    • In PowerPoint    The barcode is inserted in the center of the first slide in the presentation.

Barcode Add-in for Microsoft Word Tutorial

Creating Barcodes in Word

This tutorial will demonstrate how to create a static barcode in a Microsoft Word document. 

  1. If the barcode font
    required is not already installed, be sure to install it on the system first.
  2. Then
    Download the Barcode Add-in for Word and Excel and install it to enable the add-in
    toolbar.
  3. Open a Word document and the add-in toolbar should be displayed in the Add-Ins
    tab.
  4. Highlight the data that will be encoded in the barcode.
    Data-to-Encode Must First Be Highlighted Before the Add-In Will Work
  5. Microsoft Word 2003: With the data highlighted, select the
    appropriate barcode font from the list. Multiple
    barcode fonts have been installed for the following screenshots, and users will see
    only the barcode options for the fonts installed on their own computers.

    Microsoft Word 2007 through 2013: Select the barcode font of choice from the
    list and then click the Change To Barcode button to encode and generate
    the barcode.
    Microsoft Office 2010 Barcode Add-In
    Microsoft Word 2004 or 2011 for Mac:     Click the button of the desired barcode
    type to generate the barcode. The barcode font will only be applied if the
    appropriate barcode font is installed.
    Microsoft Word 2004 or 2011 Barcode Add-In for Macintosh
    Following is an example of the same data shown above being changed
    to a Code 128 barcode. A red line may appear in the barcode from the
    spell-checker, but this is normal and may be ignored in barcode symbols.
    Generate Barcode with Addin for Microsoft Word
  6. The data is formatted for the selected barcode type, and when the appropriate
    font is applied to it, an accurate barcode will be displayed. Once the data is
    formatted and changed to a barcode, it cannot be
    modified to another barcode type. The only way to change to a different barcode
    is by clicking the undo
    button several times until the data is changed back to the original data before
    formatting.
  7. Print and scan the barcode to verify that the correct data is being encoded.
    If a scanner is needed to verify barcodes, IDAutomation offers an easy
    to use
    USB barcode scanner.
  8. When distributing a Word document, the
    font should
    be embedded so the barcode is visible without the need to install the font package.
    This type of distribution requires at least a
    Developer License
    to the associated font.

Using the Barcode Add-In for Word Mail-Merge

How to Create a Dynamic Barcode in Mail-Merge for Word

This tutorial demonstrates how to generate a dynamic barcode for Word mail-merge.
When performing a mail-merge with Word using Excel, the add-in would only be
used to encode the data in Excel. Then this encoded data will be merged into the
Word document, at which time, the barcode font would be applied to the merged
field.
To create
a single static barcode in a normal Word document, refer to the
Word Barcode Add-In Tutorial.

  1. Click Change to BarcodeInstall
    the barcode font
    of choice if it is not already installed.
  2. Download the Barcode Add-In for Word & Excel, then install it.
  3. Create an Excel spreadsheet as the mail-merge data source.
  4. The barcode columns in the Excel spreadsheet should be created in the
    far-right column. The formula in the
    column should contain the data that needs to be encoded in the barcode.
  5. Row 1 in this column should be titled Barcode Column as in the
    example.
  6. Select the entire barcode column, excluding row 1, and convert this
    row to barcodes by choosing the appropriate barcode type in the toolbar.
  7. Save the spreadsheet.
  8. Follow the Word mail-merge process. When asked to «select
    recipients» or for the «data source,» choose the newly-created Excel spreadsheet. Place the cursor where the barcode should appear and choose to
    insert the barcode Column.
    Select the Insert Barcode Column in the Appropriate Field
  9. Select the entire <<Barcode_Column>> (including the arrow
    indicators), right-click and choose the appropriate barcode font.
    The font type must match the font button that was clicked above in step 4.
    Generating a Barcode From a Font in Microsoft Mail-Merge
  10. When the mail-merge is complete, barcodes will be generated in the <<Barcode_Column>>
    merge field with the barcode font.
  11. Print and scan the barcodes to verify the correct data is encoded.
    If a scanner is needed to verify barcodes, IDAutomation offers an easy
    to use

    USB barcode scanner.

  12. When distributing a mail-merge document, the
    font should
    be embedded in Word and the Excel data source must be accessible. Distribution in this way requires at
    least a
    Developer License to the associated
    font.

Barcode Add-in for Excel Tutorial

The unique method used in IDAutomation’s Barcode Add-In for Excel converts
selected cells, row,s and columns from data-to-encode to barcodes.
Because formulas and functions are used, the barcodes are dynamic in the
sheet; when data in Excel changes, the barcodes change automatically.

    *On Windows 8, Excel 2013 is unable to access the encoding routines to
    format the data to encode and generate a scannable barcode. To

    resolve this issue, the user must install the barcode fonts, install the
    Barcode Add-In for Excel, and then import the
    VBA functions.
    Microsoft
    Excel 2004 or 2011 for Mac:     Click the button of the desired barcode type to generate the barcode.
    The barcode font will only be applied if the appropriate font is installed.
    Barcode Add-In for Excel 2004 or 2011 for Macintosh
    Selecting the entire column may take a few seconds to calculate because
    of the large number of rows. When selecting an entire column, be sure to
    deselect the header row or it will also be converted to a barcode.
    Highlight All Data Cells in a Column and Click Change To Barcode

  5. Once clicked, the appropriate function is entered automatically
    and the font is applied, generating a readable barcode.
  6. If changing the barcode type, first select the cells containing the barcode,
    then:

    Windows 2003 or Mac 2004 and 2011: Select the appropriate button.

    Windows 2007 through 2013: Select another barcode type from the Symbology drop-down
    list and click the Change To Barcode.

    The example
    below shows the barcode changed to Code 39.

    If a scanner is needed to verify barcodes, IDAutomation offers an easy-to-use USB barcode scanner.

Support

This is a legacy product that is only compatible with Office 2010 and earlier. Support is no longer available for this product.

Common Issues

  • The Add-In Toolbar Does Not Appear
    A demo or purchased
    IDAutomation barcode font must be installed for the toolbar to appear. If the Add-in was installed
    prior to the fonts, close
    all instances of Microsoft Office, install the barcode font and then reopen
    Excel or Word to activate the add-in.
  • There is no Button for the Desired Barcode Type
    If the desired barcode button does not appear as an option, install the appropriate font
    and restart Word or Excel to activate the button. For example, to enable
    the Code 39 button, install the
    Code 39 Fonts.
    In some cases, it may be necessary to restart the entire computer so
    that cached components are updated.
  • Changing the Barcode Size
    The size of the barcode may be modified
    by selecting a different size font or changing the point size. Here is how:
    1. Highlight the entire barcode
    2. Right-click and change the point size or font height. Common font heights are
    XS (extra small) to L (large).
    How to Change the Barcode Size in Microsoft Word and Excel
  • Barcode Appears Truncated or Wraps in Excel and Will Not Scan
    This issue will occur if the column is not wide enough to contain the entire
    barcode. To resolve this issue, simply widen the column as necessary.
    Barcode Sizing Issues May Occur in Excel if the Barcode is Truncated
  • Add-In Toolbar Does Not Appear for Additional Users on the Same PC
    When the add-in is installed, it is only activated in Word and Excel for the
    user profile where it is being installed. Therefore, each user must
    install the add-in in order to make use of it within their own user profile.
  • The Undo Button Does Not Undo the Barcode
    If the undo button does not undo the barcode, delete it and attempt to
    create a new one using the same method.
  • Red Line Appears in the Barcode
    A red line may appear in the barcode as a result of the spell checking process.
    This is
    normal and occurs when the spell checker cannot associate the converted
    barcode with a defined word. The spellchecker symbol may be ignored in all
    barcode symbols, as it will not impact scanning in any way.
  • ApplyTilde Required for GS1-128
    When using the add-in,
    ApplyTilde
    is enabled by default. This enables GS1-128 barcodes to be easily generated
    in Word or Excel with the
    parentheses
    method. To encode the Tilde directly, use ~126.
  • If Office 97, Office 2000 Compatibility is Needed
    Compatibility for versions not mentioned here may be achieved by
    implementing
    IDAutomation’s VBA Macros.
  • Need More Barcode Functionality or Customization
    More functionality and customization may be achieved by implementing
    IDAutomation’s
    VBA Macros which are functions that can be easily edited
    in Visual Basic code.
  • Rectangular Boxes or Strange Symbols Appear with the Code-128-HR Button
    The Code-128-HR button should not be used in a Word Mail-Merge from Excel.
    The rectangular boxes indicate a Unicode or double-byte incompatibility. If rectangular boxes appear in a barcode generated
    when selecting the Code-128-HR
    button, use the standard Code 128 button instead.
  • Horizontal Lines Appear or Barcode Splits if Creating DataBar Stacked or
    2D Barcodes
    This may occur because of the
    line
    spacing property or the text justification issue with fonts that require
    more than one line of encoding.

The Best-Kept Secret in Microsoft Office

QR Example

Before you spend money on special fonts or software, you should take a look at one of the best hidden native features of Microsoft Office—creating and printing barcodes. You can print several different kinds of codes from within Word. 1D codes like CODE128, CODE39, UPC A and UPC E, and EAN are available, and the big daddy of 2D barcodes, the QR code, is also included. This guide will show you exactly how to take advantage of these features. Related content: How to Create Good Inventory Item Numbers.

Create a table in Excel, exactly like the one below…

Create your barcode file

…By following these steps:

Label the first column “Type” and create three records: “Code128”, “Code39”, and “QR Code”, just like you see in this image.

Label the second column “Label” and create three records: “987654321”, “CLEARLY123”, and “Clearly Inventory is easy!”

Label the third column “Barcode” and create three records: “987654321”, “CLEARLY123“, and “Clearly Inventory is easy!” Yes, they look almost the same, but this is the actual information that we’ll be encoding in the barcode itself.

Those asterisks are CRITICAL. Without them, your barcode reader can’t decode the information as “CODE39”.

Click “Save As”…

Save the barcode file

…By following these steps

Save the file in this exact location…

Choose your barcode file from the list

…By following these steps

By default, Windows creates a “My Data Sources” folder in your “My Documents” folder. This is where Word will look for your tables when doing mail merges. You don’t have to use this folder, but it will make this example, and life, easier to follow.

Please use the filename “BarCodeExample.xlsx”. We’ll be referring to it later on.

Open a new Word document and select “Mailings”…

Click mailings

…By following these steps

Open Word and click the “Mailings” tab. If you don’t have this tab, you might need to customize your toolbar to activate it. Google how to do that if necessary. You might notice that Word has a “Barcode” menu item. I did too. And to this day, I can’t get it to work properly. If you know how to, please drop us an email at support@clearlyinventory.com.

Click “Labels”…

Select labels

…By following these steps

Once you’re in the “Mailings” tab, click on “Labels”. This will bring up a Label dialog window for you to select a label type.

Select these exact labels…

Select your barcode label type

…By following these steps

Click this area (you may not notice that it’s clickable, but it is, trust me). Then select the Avery US Letter, 5161 Easy Peel Address Labels. That’s what we’ll use for this example, but you can choose any number of labels when you do this on your own.

Click the “New Document” button…

Create a new label document

…By following these steps

A lot of people make the mistake of clicking “Print” from this dialog. Instead, click the “New Document” button. Don’t be one of those people who can’t follow directions and gets lost.

And your New Document should look like this…

The print barcode screen

…By following these steps

Yeah, I forgot to put a “1” on this image, but just bear with me. The image at left is what your New Document will look like. I point this out because, at this point, you will probably have TWO Word documents open: the original one where we selected the label type and this New Document. Make sure you’re working with the document that has the outlines of the labels.

Make sure to click the “Mailings” tab in your new doc…

Select recipients

…By following these steps

Make sure you click the “Mailings” tab again so you can see the Mail Merge options; otherwise, step 2 won’t make sense.

Click “Select Recipients”. This may seem weird, but what we’re really doing is choosing a table or spreadsheet with values in it. Because the most common use of this feature is mailing lists, Microsoft calls the data “Recipients”. Just keep up, and it will all become clear.

Select your “recipients” (hint: they’re really your barcodes)…

Use an existing list of barcodes

…By following these steps

Choose “Use an Existing List…”. Remember the spreadsheet we created and saved at the beginning of this tutorial? It’s about to come back into play.

Choose the file we saved earlier…

Select the Excel sheet with your barcodes

…By following these steps

Remember how I told you to use the default My Data Sources location? This is why. MS Word will automatically open it when you click “Select Recipients”. It’s a real time-saver.

Select “BarCodeExample.xlsx” (you did follow my instructions earlier and use this name, right?).

Yes, the image got clipped, but I didn’t have time to fix it. So go complain to your coworker about it. Any who, click the “Open” button, even though we’re not going to actually open the spreadsheet.

Choose the file we saved earlier…

Select the barcode table to print

…By following these steps

Depending on your default Excel settings, you might have more than one worksheet. I only have one. But if you have multiple worksheets in your Excel document, you will be asked to select the table. Just make sure to select “Sheet1$” like the arrow says.

Then click “OK”. Why doesn’t Word spell it out as “Okay”? I don’t know, okay? OK.

Insert a “Merge Field” called “Type”…

Select the barcode table to print

…By following these steps

Click on “Insert Merge Field”. Merge Fields are specially encoded fields that will pull data from data sources. Here, the Merge Fields will be showing information from our BarCodeExample table.

Hey, isn’t it interesting that the three options exactly match our table column headings? Not really. If you’ve been following directions, that’s what’s supposed to happen. But kind cool. Let’s select “Type” first.

Make sure the merge field is in the first label…

Select the mergefield type

…By following these steps

Congratulations! You’ve inserted a MERGEFIELD. What’s going on here?

Everything between those curly brackets is code that tells Word “Go to that table, get the first value in the column titled “Type”, and put it here. It’s important to note that the stuff inside the curly brackets will not print in the final document “as is,” so it may appear that the label won’t fit the content. But as long as the data fits, everything is ok. Another important point: You can’t just create a MERGEFIELD by typing curly brackets and putting stuff in the middle. So don’t even think about it. Do it the way I’m showing you in this exercise.

Insert a second “Merge Field” called “Label”…

Add the label

…By following these steps

Same deal as above, only now we’re putting the “Label” in. This can be useful when you want a “human readable” section of the label. That’s why we created this column. We could have just used the barcode column, but sometimes barcodes need to have special characters that people don’t need to see, so it’s good practice to keep them separated.

IMPORTANT: If your page doesn’t look like this one you probably see words inside of << >> like <>. Here’s what to do. Move your mouse to put your cursor inside of the << >> and right click to bring up Word’s contextual menu. Then click the menu item called “Toggle Field Codes”. That should reveal the codes you see on our example. If it doesn’t, well, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Make sure the “Label” field looks like this…

Update the label

…By following these steps

Your label should now look like this, with two merge fields. If it doesn’t, go call your mom. She misses you.

Finally, insert the “Barcode” merge field…

Add the barcode mergfield to the print list

…By following these steps

Repeat the above steps for the Barcode field. You’ll notice that they are all together. This will be hard to read, so format your label a little. See the next image and steps.

Format the label a little…

Configure barcode print options

…By following these steps

Put a colon and space between the Type and Label fields, then add a hard “Return” or “Enter” to put the Barcode merge field on another line. When you’ve done that, it should look like the image to the left (except for the orange arrow and number).

This is the most important part of this tutorial…

Update barcode mergefield

…By following these steps

I’m ashamed to say it, but this part took me over two hours of research to figure out. For some reason, Microsoft doesn’t want you to know about it. We’re going to need to change the word “FIELD” to “BARCODE”. First, highlight the word “FIELD” exactly as you see here.

Change the highlighted “FIELD” to “BARCODE”…

Add barcode mergefield

…By following these steps

Now, type the word “BARCODE” instead. THIS is the secret sauce that makes it all possible.

Add the type of barcode here…

Select a font

…By following these steps

Now you need to tell the MERGEBARCODE field what kind of barcode font to use. So you need to type “CODE128” here to tell Word that “When you get the data in the Barcode column and present it here, make sure the font is CODE128.” We could just as easily tell it to make the font “CODE39” or “QR”, and we will.

This is how you add the other barcode labels…

Add barcodes to print list

…By following these steps

Now we have to tell Word to print another label, so make sure your cursor is in the top left of the next label area, as shown, and click on the “Rules” menu option.

This is where the “Rules” menu option is. Please click it.

Make sure you precede the other labels with this code…

Add codes to list

…By following these steps

You’ll now see the “NEXT” merge field. This tells Word to go to the same Excel table and use the next row of values when pulling data from the columns. If this field is not present, Word will just repeat data from the same row again and again.

Now it’s time to copy and paste, just like first grade…

…By following these steps

And we’re ready to print these bad boys. Click “File”.

And print…

Select print

…By following these steps

Then click “Print” and follow the print dialogs. You don’t have to have label stock in your printer; just regular paper is fine for this test.

The above method is a great way to print lots of barcode labels without spending a lot of money or using new software or hardware. It’s also helpful when you’re doing a large batch of barcodes. You will find lots of software and hardware that is more “barcode friendly,” but those will all cost money, and some can be really expensive when using a database. For example, the Zebra GC420 line of thermal printers comes with some great barcode software for free, but if you want to hook it up to a table like we did here, it’s going to cost you around $400 

Now that you know the basics, you can start to play around with different ideas. There are even more controls available for the barcodes. For a complete description, go to this website from Microsoft that explains how to write MERGEBARCODE fields and options.

2 easy ways to create barcodes in Microsoft Word


Download Article

Barcodes are images that contain distributions of shapes, like lines, dots, or rectangles, which can be read by scanner to interpret the data contained in the code.[1]
 This makes it easy to access product information, track product movement, and keep up with inventory, which might help you in your business endeavors. Knowing how to translate data from a common format, like the text of a word processor, takes only a little know-how and a basic understanding of the different symbologies used for barcodes.

  1. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 1

    1

    Choose your barcode symbology. You may have noticed that there are a wide variety of barcodes, some appearing like thin lines and others, like QR codes, which are more blocky in appearance.[2]
     These barcode types are called symbologies, some of which include:[3]

    • Plessey: Used for catalogs, store shelves, inventory
    • UPC: Used for North America retail
    • EAN-UCC: Used for international retail
    • Codabar: Used for libraries, blood banks, airbills
    • Code 39: Used for various purposes
    • Code 128: Used for various purposes
    • Code 11: Used for telephones
    • Code 16K: 1D version of Code 128.
    • QR Code: Public domain code from Nippon Denso ID Systems. Has the ability to encode Japanese Kanji and Kana characters.[4]

  2. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 2

    2

    Choose your data to convert. The information you want contained in your barcode will need to be translated to a suitable barcode format, like an alphanumeric string, for it to be properly read by scanners. You should have a general format in mind for how you will structure all barcodes for your particular purpose.

    • Many different kinds of information can be included in your barcode, but generally this information pertains to: identification, tracking, and inventory.[5]
    • Consistent formatting will help make the translated information easier to read, and will make human processing of barcode information more efficient.
    • «Alphanumeric» refers to a system that uses both letters and numbers.[6]

  3. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 3

    3

    Convert your data into proper barcode format with an online service. Now that you have your data properly organized, do an online search for a «String builder» for the barcode symbology you will be using. This will give you the converted text that you will need to use with a barcode font.

    • For example, you might search, «barcode string builder code 128.»
    • Some symbologies may use other inputs than simple alphanumeric. Do an online search of your chosen symbology to find how to convert your data to a suitable barcode format.[7]

  4. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 4

    4

    Download the right font for your barcode. To have the text you’ve converted to show up properly as a barcode, you’ll need to input your barcode string into your Word document in the font for your symbology. There are many online sources for fonts, some free and some for pay, which you can find by searching your symbology (e.g. Code 39 font).

    • Always exercise caution when downloading anything from the Internet. There is always the risk that you may get a virus or some other kind of malware.

  5. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 5

    5

    Convert your barcode string into your word document. Cut and paste your converted barcode string into your word document. Highlight this text, and then change the font to the appropriate barcode font and your barcode should appear.

  1. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 6

    1

    Navigate to your add-in interface. Some ad-ins might have a separate pane while some might be located under a general word setting option, like the «Insert Object» button. The add-in you have decided upon will determine where you will find your add-in interface.

    • For the purposes of offering a guided example, this process will be outlined with the barcode add-in StrokeScribe, which is available to individual users for free. To access StrokeScribe’s interface, click on the «Insert» tab, then click the «Insert Object» button and select «StrokeScribe Document» from the list provided.

  2. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 7

    2

    Find your symbology in the barcode add-in interface. Barcodes have many different types, and these are referred to as symbologies. There should be an extensive list of barcode symbologies in a submenu of your add-in interface. Search through this until you find the symbology that best suits your purposes.

    • Continuing with the guided example, you should right-click the barcode image after selecting «StrokeScribe Document» and from the following menu choose StrokeScribe Control → Properties.
    • Be sure that your barcode reading software/equipment has the capability of reading the symbology you have chosen for your code.
    • Some common symbologies: UPS, Code 39, Code 128, QR

  3. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 8

    3

    Input the appropriate information. You’ll need to input the text that you want to be converted to barcode format and the Alphabet you want the text to be converted into, which will be the same as the symbology you’ve already decided upon.

    • In the guided example, after clicking «Properties» you should see the Control Properties window, in which you can type your data to be converted into barcode by the «Text» field, and you can select your symbology with the «Alphabet» dropdown menu.

  4. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 9

    4

    Insert and position your barcode. Some add-ins might have a specific Insert Barcode button, or you may only need to press Ok. With most add-ins, the barcode you create will be treated like an image.

    • For the guided example, you only need to click Ok to insert the image. To make the barcode a floating image, right click it, select «Format Object,» and change the text wrapping under the «Layout» tab.
    • Right-click the barcode, select the «Format Object» option, and click the Layout tab in the following menu. This should list different styles in which your barcode will be wrapped with in-document text.

  5. Image titled Create Barcodes in Word Step 10

    5

    Adjust the size. Using the white manipulator boxes occupying the corners and midpoints around the border of your barcode, alter the size of your barcode until it is satisfactory. You may also be able to change the size within a «Properties» window associated with your barcode add-in.

    • To complete the guided example, use the manipulator boxes to adjust width and height until it is positioned and sized best for your purposes.

How To Create a Swiss QR Code

Swiss QR Code is available in TBarCode Office V11 — follow the link and download the new version.

Below we give you instructions on how to create Swiss QR Code 2.2 in a serial letter:

  1. Download the Excel Sheet for Swiss QR Bills (click the link). The sheet contains calculated columns, which create the data format for the Swiss QR Code 2.2 payment standard.
  2. Enter the payment information into columns A - Q.

    Note the calculated columns SwissQRCode_Part1, SwissQRCode_Part2 and SwissQRCode_Part3, which will contain the bar code data for the bar code add-in. There are also more calculated columns at the right, which are used to validate your input. Line Feeds are encoded through the n escape sequence.

  3. In your Word mail merge document, select the Excel sheet as data source for the mail merge.
  4. Open TBarCode Panel, select Swiss QR Code and add the serial field placeholders via Insert Fields as shown below:
    Swiss QR Code Serial Fields
    We split the data content into multiple fields, because in the serial letter you are limited to 255 characters in a single field. In the barcode this will be put back together correctly. The field SwissQRCode_Part3 is required if further data is coded after the EPD (Bill-Info, AV Parameter 1, AV Parameter 2).

TBarCode Office is the perfect solution for serial letters. If you only need to create a few Swiss QR Codes per year, you may create them also with our Swiss QR Bill Online Generator.

Mail Merge Errors

Mail Merge Stops After Two Records with TXT or CSV Datasource

Solution: The data-file for the mail merge must be connected as «OLE DB Datasource».

Connect your data-file with Select Recipients and select your text or CSV file. In the Confirm Data Source dialog, select «OLE DB Database Files» and click OK.

If the Confirm Data Source dialog does not appear you have to enable it in the Word Options. Go to Word Options | Advanced | General and activate the option «Confirm file format conversion on open». Then reconnect your data as described above (without attaching the data source again, the option may not be applied).

TBarCode Office with Word - Word Options

Fatal Error at MailMergeDataField.get_Value()

Access MDB Data Source: Please verify the table fields in your data source. The error can appear if a field name contains more than 32 characters. As a solution rename the fields in your import table or create a view with renamed fields.

Wrong Page Numbers in the Barcode

If your mail merge bar code references fields or document properties containing page numbers, wrong values can be read.

The behavior is caused by the internal update order in Word. It may occur that the bar code is created/drawn before the page numbers have been calculated (and an old value is read). Unfortunately we have no influence on this problem.

Barcode Data Doesn’t Change When Using Mail Merge

The same barcode data is inserted when creating mail merge barcodes. To workaround this problem, try one of the following steps:

Preview Mode

  • In the preview mode the barcode is always shown using the data from the first record.
  • To get the correct barcodes please do a mail merge into a new document or directly to the printer.

Layout Options

  • The barcode must be insert in the layout options (Format Object) always as „In line with text“ („In Front of Text“ is partially supported since V10.8).
  • If you use other wrapping styles, the bar code is not recognized in a mail merge.
  • For flexible bar code positioning you can insert the barcode into a freely positioned text box or table.

Scaled or Cropped EMF Barcodes with Remote Desktop

Problem

If you connect to a PC through Remote Desktop, the EMF barcodes may look scaled or cropped after updating the bar codes. The problem occurs if you have scaled the size of text, apps and other items, that means the scaling in the Display Settings is set to 125% or higher.

Text or App Size Is Set to 125%

Example for a scaled size, which triggers the problem.

Workaround

In order to fix the EMF bar code scaling, enable the following setting in Windows 10:

  • Right click on the desktop and select Display Settings.
    Alternatively open the Settings app, go to the System group of settings, then select the Display tab.
  • Scroll down to the Scale and layout section and click Advanced scaling settings.
  • On the following screen, below “Fix scaling for apps”, enable the Let Windows try to fix apps so they are not blurry switch:

Fix Scaling for Apps

After that restart Excel (or Word) and refresh the bar codes in your document: Press SHIFT + Refresh in the add-in panel to force a refresh of all bar codes.

No Barcode Visible / Cropped Barcode

TBarCode is inserted in Word as „Inline Shape“. In case of Inline Shapes, the shape is clipped if the line height is configured to a fixed value.

The barcode should be visible again if you adjust line spacing to «Single».

Barcode Control Blocked or Barcode Not Updated

Please verify your security settings.

Network Path

By default documents from a shared network path containing active content (such as barcode controls) are opened in a safe mode, where active content may be disabled. If you see a yellow security warning on top of your document, go to the trust center in Word and/or Excel and allow the network path you use.

  • Create, remove, or change a trusted location for your files

Security Alerts

TBarCode Office V10 is using ActiveX Controls for bar code creation. Depending on your security settings, ActiveX Controls may be blocked. If you see a yellow security warning on top of your document, you have to click «Enable Content» to allow access to the Barcode ActiveX Controls. The behavior of ActiveX Contols can be adjusted as shown below:

  • Enable or disable ActiveX controls in Office documents

Barcode Shows «Adjust Properties» (V10)

The following information applies to Version 10 in case Barcode ActiveX Controls are embedded. The problem does not occur with EMF pictures.

Lost Settings After Saving the Document

Barcodes in a table can lose their settings when the document is saved. It seems the embedded Barcode ActiveX Controls are reset due to a Word bug. Customer reports show that the problem occurs in Word 2013 – but not with the latest service pack (15.0.4903.1002 or later).

Another reason for this problem can be that the document is opened and saved on a system where TBarCode/Office is not installed.

Solution

The solution is to update Office to the latest service pack or to re-install Office with the latest version. Make sure you edit the document always on a system where the add-in is installed and working properly.

  • How can I find out my Office version?
  • Update history for Office 2013

How to: Use Microsoft Word Programmatically with IIS Applications

In order to make the Add-In work properly you need the following IIS application settings

  • Enable impersonation in the web.config file.
  • Configure the Anonymous Authentication Identity and change it to a specific user.
  • License the Add-In under the specified user account or ask for a user-independent license import (sales@tec-it.com).

Use of the Add-In is only permitted in Intranet applications (according to the terms of the site or enterprise license).

How Can I Verify if the Add-in Has Been Loaded?

You can use the following VBA code to verify if the add-in is available (loaded). You can show a warning (at startup or when clicking a button) if the add-in is missing.

Public Function IsTBarCodeWordAddInActive() As Boolean
Dim objAddIn As COMAddIn
IsTBarCodeWordAddInActive = False
For Each objAddIn In Word.Application.COMAddIns
  If objAddIn.ProgID = "TECIT.TBarCode.WordAddIn" And InStr(objAddIn.Description, "11") Then
    If objAddIn.Connect = True Then
      IsTBarCodeWordAddInActive = True
    End If
  End If
Next
End Function

How to check if available: 

If IsTBarCodeWordAddInActive() Then
  MsgBox "All OK :-)"
Else
  MsgBox "TBarCode Word Add-In (V11) is missing!"
End If

The Panel Does Not Show/Recognize the Selected Barcode

In order for the panel to read the freely positioned barcode correctly, the text wrapping style must be set to „In Line With Text». Click here for more information.

For serial letters there is a preliminary, experimental support for freely positioned objects (so that in mail merge the barcode should be updated). But for editing the barcode in the panel, you must always switch to „In Line With Text».
