changing numbers into a barcode using excel

can anyone help me. I have heard you can change numbers into a barcode
formatt which can then be scanned with barcode scanner.

You first have to install a barcode font.

Then Format>Cell>Font

Et voilà!

As far as I know, you enter the numbers you want to use in Excel, and then
print it to a special brcode printer? The printer program does the
conversion for you

You should have installed the fonts with Start>Control Panel>Fonts.

Once the fonts have been installed, you must stop/restart Excel before it
takes the new fonts into account.
