Barcodes

Google is your friend !!! Search for word barcode font and First one up is http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/

Have used this with good results.

Google and I have been dating for decades. Unfortunately when I tried that one, it looked great on the screen, and printed with grey between the black bars rendering the code unreadable.

I have just checked this on an inkjet printer and there is no grey between the bars and the code works fine on my barcode reader and my Android tablet.

Looks like the issue is Word. If I try Excel, it works. Too bad - there are downloadable templates for common peel and stick labels for Word. Guess I'll have to build my own.

If you are playing with this, you might want to try this font too: /http://www.idautomation.com/free-bar...s/code39-font/
It's 1/2" high and puts the human readable text underneath, which saves typing the information twice. This one and the one in a previous post have different start / end characters so a bit of experimenting and wasted paper is required to get going.
