您知道您可以使用MS word生成条形码吗？虽然这可能会让你感到震惊，但它确实是真的。创建条形码后，您可以将其粘贴到某些物品上，然后使用物理条形码扫描仪(barcode scanner)或简单地使用智能手机进行扫描。您可以使用Microsoft Word(Microsoft Word)免费创建几种不同类型的条形码。但是要创建其他条码，您将需要购买商业软件，因此我们不会提及这些类型的条码。
但是，在这里我们将学习如何通过MS word生成条形码。一些最常见的一维条码(1D barcodes)是EAN-13、EAN-8、UPC-A、UPC-E、Code128、ITF-14、Code39等。二维条码(2D barcodes)包括DataMatrix、QR 码、Maxi 码(Maxi code)、Aztec和PDF 417 .
如何使用Microsoft Word生成(Microsoft Word)条形码(Barcode)
注意：在开始使用(Note:)Microsoft Word生成条形码之前，您需要在系统上安装条形码字体(barcode font)。
#1 Steps To Install Barcode Font
您需要先在 Windows PC 上下载和安装条形码字体。(barcode font)您可以从谷歌搜索轻松下载这些字体。下载这些字体后，您可以继续生成条形码。您拥有的文本越多，条形码字符的大小就会增加。您可以使用Code 39、Code 128、UPC 或 QR 码字体(UPC or QR code fonts)，因为它们是最流行的。
1. 下载Code 39 Barcode 字体(Code 39 Barcode font)并提取(extract)与条形码字体相关的zip 文件(zip file)。
2. 现在 从提取的文件夹中打开TTF（True Type 字体）文件。(TTF (True Type Font))单击(Click)顶部的安装按钮。(Install)所有字体都将安装在C:\Windows\Fonts下。
3. 现在，重新启动Microsoft Word，您将在字体列表中看到Code 39 Barcode 字体(Code 39 Barcode font)。
注意：(Note: )您将看到条形码字体名称或只是代码或带有字体名称的代码。(You will either see a barcode font name or simply a code or code with a font name.)
#2 How to Generate Barcode in Microsoft Word
现在我们将开始在Microsoft Word(Microsoft Word)中创建条形码。我们将使用IDAutomation Code 39字体，其中包括您在条形码下方键入的文本。虽然其他条形码字体不显示此文本，但我们会将此字体用于教学目的，以便您更好地了解如何在MS Word中生成条形码。
现在使用一维条码只有一个问题，即它们需要条码中的开始和结束字符，否则条码阅读器(barcode reader)将无法扫描它。但是，如果您使用Code 39字体，那么您可以轻松地将 start & end symbol (*)添加到文本的前面和结尾(front and end)。例如，您想生成Aditya Farrad Production 条形码(Aditya Farrad Production barcode)，那么您需要使用 *Aditya=Farrad=Production* 创建一个条形码，当使用条形码阅读器(barcode reader)扫描时，该条形码将读取Aditya Farrad Production。哦，是的，使用Code 39字体时，您需要使用等号 (=) 符号而不是空格。
1. 在条形码中键入您想要的文本，选择文本(text)，然后将字体大小增加到20 或 30(20 or 30) ，然后选择字体代码 39(code 39)。
2：文字会自动转换成条码，在条码下方会看到名称。
3. 现在您有了可扫描的条形码 39(barcode 39)。看起来很简单。要检查上面生成的条形码是否有效，您可以下载条形码阅读器应用程序(barcode reader app)并扫描上面的条形码。
现在通过相同的过程，您可以下载和创建不同的条形码，例如Code 128 Barcode 字体(Code 128 Barcode font)等。您只需要下载并安装选定的代码字体。但是对于代码 128，还有一个问题，在使用开始和停止符号(start and stop symbols)时，您还需要使用无法自行键入的特殊校验和字符。因此，您首先必须将文本编码为适当的格式，然后将其用于Word以生成适当的可扫描条形码。

#3 Using Developer Mode in Microsoft Word
这是另一种无需安装任何第三方字体或软件(font or software)即可生成条码的方式。请按照以下步骤生成条形码：
1. 打开Microsoft Word 并导航(Microsoft Word and navigate)到左上窗格中的(left pane)文件(File)选项卡，然后单击选项(ptions)。
2. 将打开一个窗口，导航到自定义功能区(Customize Ribbon)并选中主选项卡下的开发人员(Developer)选项，然后单击(tabs and click)确定。(OK.)
3. 现在，开发人员选项卡将出现在(Developer)视图选项卡(view tab)旁边的工具栏中。单击(Click)它并选择旧工具(legacy tools)，然后选择更多选项(ore Options )，如下所示。
4. 将出现更多控件的弹出菜单，从列表中选择ActiveBarcode选项，然后单击确定。( OK.)
5. 一个新的条形码将在您的Word 文档(Word document)中创建。要编辑文本和条形码类型，只需右键单击(right-click)条形码，然后导航到ActiveBarcode 对象(ActiveBarcode Objects)并选择属性。( Properties.)

希望您有使用Microsoft Word生成条形码的想法。该过程很简单，但您需要确保正确执行这些步骤。您需要先下载并安装所需的代码字体，才能开始使用MS word生成不同类型的条形码。
How to Generate Barcode using Microsoft Word
Do you know that you can generate a barcode using MS word? Although it might cоme as a shock to you but it is indeed true. Once you have created the barcode, you can stick it onto some itеm and you can scan it with a physical barcode scanner оr ѕimply using your smartphone. There are several different types of barcodes that you can create using Microsoft Word for free. But to сreate others, you will need to purchаse commercial software, so we won’t be mentiоning anything about theѕe types of barcodеs.
However, here we will learn about generating barcodes through MS word. Some of the most common 1D barcodes are EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code128, ITF-14, Code39, etc. 2D barcodes include DataMatrix, QR codes, Maxi code, Aztec, and PDF 417.
How to Generate Barcode using Microsoft Word
Note: Before you start generating a barcode using Microsoft Word, you need to install a barcode font on your system.
#1 Steps To Install Barcode Font
You need to start with downloading & installing a barcode font on your Windows PC. You can easily download these fonts searching from google. Once you download these fonts, you can proceed to generate the barcode. The more text you will have, the barcode characters will increase in size. You can use either Code 39, Code 128, UPC or QR code fonts as they are the most popular.
1. Download the Code 39 Barcode font and extract the zip file contacting the barcode fonts.
2. Now open the TTF (True Type Font) file from the extracted folder. Click on the Install button at the top section. All fonts will be installed under the C:\Windows\Fonts.
3. Now, relaunch Microsoft Word and you will see the Code 39 Barcode font in the font list.
Note: You will either see a barcode font name or simply a code or code with a font name.
#2 How to Generate Barcode in Microsoft Word
Now we will start creating a barcode in Microsoft Word. We are going to use the IDAutomation Code 39 font, which includes the text that you type below the barcode. While other barcode fonts do not show this text, but we will be taking this font for instructional purposes so that you can get a better understanding of how to generate a barcode in MS Word.
Now there is only one problem with using 1D barcodes that is they require a start and stop character in the barcode otherwise the barcode reader won’t be able to scan it. But if you are using Code 39 font then you can easily add the start & end symbol (*) to the front and end of the text. For example, you want to generate Aditya Farrad Production barcode then you will need to use *Aditya=Farrad=Production* to create a barcode that will read Aditya Farrad Production when scanned with a barcode reader. Oh yes, you need to use equal (=) sign instead of space when using Code 39 font.
1. Type the text you want in your barcode, select the text then increase the font size up to 20 or 30 and then select the font code 39.
2: The text will automatically be converted into the barcode and you will see the name at the bottom of the barcode.
3. Now you have scannable barcode 39. It seems pretty simple. To check if the above-generated barcode is working or not, you can download a barcode reader app and scan the above barcode.
Now by following the same process, you can download and create different barcodes such as Code 128 Barcode font and others. You just need to download & install the selected code fonts. But with code 128 there is one more issue, while using start and stop symbols, you will also need to use special checksum characters which you can’t type by on your own. So you will first have to encode the text into a proper format and then use it into Word in order to generate a proper scannable barcode.

3. Now a Developer tab will appear in the toolbar next to the view tab. Click on it and choose legacy tools then select More Options as shown below.
4. A pop-up menu of More Controls will appear, select the ActiveBarcode option from the list and click on OK.
5. A new barcode will be created in your Word document. To edit the text and the type of barcode, just right-click on the barcode then navigate to ActiveBarcode Objects and select Properties.
