I use OpenOffice 2.2 at work. Barcode Factory from Wasp allows MS

of that value in cell B.
A far as I can tell OO cannot do this.
Great suite.

I don't know too much about barcodes.
There is a 3 of 9 Barcode which I think is commonly used.
This is available as a font so changing the font in a cell will convert
it to a barcode.
This will take you to the correct page.

If you use windows unzip the file and place it in c:\windows\fonts
directory.
Let us know if it works for you.
I just tried it in Calc. It worked, I got a barcode.
A simple "=A1" formula in B1 then using the Format/Cell/font tab select
Free 3 of 9 as the font for that cell (B1)
Any number I type into A1 gets converted into a barcode in B1
Adjust Barcode size as you would with any other font.
Things to remember.
1/ If you email or otherwise send the file to another computer they will
not see the barcode unless the Barcode font is installed on their computer.
