Hi Betty, I'm currently looking at adding barcodes to a database project using OOo (forms, label printing etc). I understand that all I need are appropriate barcode fonts, and these can easily be installed so that OOo can use them. I'm about to test it, so I haven't confirmed anything yet. There are lots of free barcode font sets on the web of various quality. There are also commercial font sets. E.g.: Take a look at this tutorial on installing barcode fonts for OpenOffice/StarOffice: http://www.idautomation.com/openoffice/ A quick Google search turns up the following "PostNet barcode font" sites: Commercial fonts: http://idautomation.com/fonts/postnet/ many others sites as well Free fonts: http://www.popularshareware.com/POSTNET-Barcode-Fonts-download-3102.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
