    Barcode image in Excel and MS Word Mail merge

    I have rows of product codes and product information that I am able to mail merge into MS Word to create barcode labels. Column 14 has the barcode number, Coulmn 15 has the barcode image and Column 16 has the barcode number using Code 128 font which was unreadable by the barcode scanner. I either need the Code 128 font (Column 16) readable by a scanner or the barcode image (Column 15) able to be mail merged into MS Word. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    If i no remember wrongly, you need add * before and after the barcode.
    =CONCATENATE("*", BARCODE's cell, "*"), then it should be reachable by scanner.

    I purchased an MS Office add in program: TBarCode Office 1D (Linear Codes). There tech support was excellent.
