Creating and merging QR codes with Word 2013?
Hi all
Hope someone can help me. I have a list of 30 URLS which I want to create Qr codes for and then mail-merge them. I have other fields, standard mail-merge type fields such as name etc but really want to have a qr code come out with them. How is this possible or is it even? I currently have the list of urls in excel and then want to create a mail-merge from the excel list but I am at a loss on how to get the QR code for the url, embed into the excel sheet and then mail-merge. There has to be a way right? |

To generate a QR barcode, you need to insert the MERGEFIELD into a DISPLAYBARCODE field, coded along the lines of:
{DISPLAYBARCODE «URL» QR \q 3} or: {DISPLAYBARCODE {MERGEFIELD URL} QR \q 3} where 'URL' is your field name. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ce.12%29.aspx? Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues. Likewise, you can't type or copy & paste the chevrons (i.e. '« »') - they're part of the actual mergefields, which you can insert from the 'Insert Merge Field' dropdown.
