I was wondering if anyone had any experience in using an add-in in order to insert barcodes onto labels. I have 2 columns of data that I want to make labels for, 1 column with a numeric value (that i want to turn into a barcode) and the other column is text. I can use the mail merge and map the appropriate columns on the labels but, the barcode I try to enter keeps on inserting as a picture and not actual text. So i need to either change it in the excel sheet I have or in the Word document.

any suggestions
