See an earlier posting of mine a month or so ago: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=114956 I'm doing similar (barcodes) in Base forms and it work well - except the PDF export feature doesn't recognise the fonts although printing works fine. > > (2) Where in the heck is the Table Data Bar?

If you open the Data Sources pane in Writer (use the icon in the "Standard" tool bar just under the menu bar) then the Table Data tool bar is just above that pane. > Thanks for any assistance you can provide. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
