Question Creating Barcode Badges using Microsoft Word Mail Merge 2013
Hi I am trying to accomplish Creating Barcode Badges using Microsoft Word Mail Merge using Word 2013 and only have directions for how to do this in Word 2007. In those directions I get as far as the last steps and don't have the Barcode font to create the barcodes. How can I do this in Word 2013?

Here are what the directions say:
Highlight the entire field “Barcode”, and then select Enter to move


it under name field, change the font to barcode, and then click the
button on the toolbar to center the text.

Help!

Thanks in advance!

Install the barcode font! You can't use a font you don't have.

That depends on the type of barcode, but you could start with - http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/

In Word 2013/365 you can use either of two virtually undocumented fields to create a barcode directly in Word. These are the DisplayBarCode and MergeBarCode fields. This does not require adding any fonts and can be used as a part of a mailmerge. The QR barcode shown was generated using one of these fields using my Add-In. So was the attached more traditional barcode. These fields do not work in earlier versions of Word.
