Barcodes

[[email protected]]

I am looking for a way to convert data in a cell into a bar code! Any
ideas?

[World.Ref]

Download a "Trutype" bar code font. Many are available some for free. Then
just display the font.

Barcodes are just another type of font. excel comes with
one barcode fond call 3 of 9 barcode. Just change the font
of the cell you want to display barcodes to font 3 of 9
barcode. all bar code readers i have delt with can read 3
of 9 barcode.

add-on?

I looked in my Format/Cells/Font tab and I don't find it. Where is "3 of 9"

It's not in Excel 2003 list of fonts, but a quick google throws up many free downloads for it, try http://www.squaregear.net/fonts/free3of9.shtml

If you go Format>Cells>Font, and you don't see a BarCode font, then you need
to install one, i.e. find it on the 'Net, possibly pay for it, download and
intall it.
