Anyone have info on a macro that will convert a Word document to version 96 or 102 barcodes? This is not doable currently in X7. The quantity is large and hand input is not an option.

I suspect this may be a variation of code 128 but haven't been able to pin that down.

Code 128 barcodes are commonly called Code 96 codes because they start with "96" (ripped from a FeEx PDF on their shipping codes)... could that be a point of confusion for you? If so, it sounds like your Code 128 codes are already in good shape. Never heard of a Code 102.

You are correct about the code beginning with a "96" and that it seems to have originated with FedEx. I am aware that the 128 is part of the Corel Barcode font list.

Download the font and excel sheet. Then go into the excel sheet and copy your list into column 1. Take the text from column 2 and import it into Corel with the mail merge function. Set the text to use your Code128 TTF file. Should work without an issue.
