    Barcodes are crazy liitle puppies. Ready...

    There are two ways to proceed depending on your final usage:

    1. Use a font-based barcode. Just key in the numbers and out pos your barcode. This is good for Postal barcodes and non-commercial codes.

    2. A barcode generator app. This is more helpful for product type barcodes UPC-A, or promotion barcodes (ie. coupons) EAN-128. These create the needed check digits (found on the left and right) that a font-based barcode cannot create.

    Let me know your final usage and I can help steer you in the right direction.

    alas...too many years working in promotions design...
