Create barcode from numeric digits in Microsoft Word
All barcode symbologies support encoding numeric digits into barcodes.
However some barcode symbologies supports fixed length digits encoding only. Such as EAN-13, UPC-A barcodes, Intelligent Mail, PLANET, POSTNET postal barcodes.
Using KeepAutomation Barcode for Word add-in, you can easily generate barcodes from digits in Word document. However if your barcode data includes the barcode checksum digit
(it is usually the last digit), please remove it. The barcode generator for Word will
automatically calculate the check digit and append it to the end of the barcode data.
Create barcode from ASCII characters in Microsoft Word
Some barcode symbologies support encoding ASCII characters in barcodes. Such as Code 39, Code 128, and all of the 2d barcodes, QR Code, Data Matrix and PDF-417.
Using KA.Barcode for Word add-in, you can encode ASCII characters directly into supported barcodes. If the barcode data includes some non-printable chars in ASCII, please view
the details at How to encode non-printable chars in barcodes in Word?
Extended ASCII is a version that supports representation of 256 different characters. It usually includes the full ASCII 128 chars, and plus up to 128 additional characters.
The limitation of the 8-bit extended ASCII character set is that it can only represent up to 128 characters. This means that it cannot support characters from languages other than English, as well as special characters and symbols.
Encode non-printable characters into barcode in Word
ASCII includes 128 chars, and 95 chars are printable ones, and the rest are all non-printable characters.
Since you cannot directly key-in those non-printable chars in the Word, to encode these non-printable characters in barcode in Word,
you need use our software defined the special control char "~", and followed by the ASCII value of the non-printable char.
Create GS1 barcodes in Microsoft Word
The GS1 data message includes one or multiple element strings, and an element string is the combination of a GS1 Application Identifier (AI) and its data field.
Create barcodes from Unicode text in Microsoft Word
Unicode is a text encoding standard managed by the Unicode Consortium, which is designed to support the use of text written in all of the world's major operating systems.
Unicode provides a unique number for every character including alphanumeric, punctuation marks, mathematical symbols, technical symbols, arrows, and characters making up non-Latin alphabets such as Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic script.
To convert Unicode characters into barcodes in Microsoft Word document, you usually need convert Unicode characters into byte array using UTF-8 encode, and then encode the converted byte array to 2d barcodes using byte mode, such as Data Matrix, PDF-417, and QR Code.
