If you're here, you're a Microsoft® Word user who needs to generate some barcodes. Quick and easy. Do you need a few barcodes, or do you need to mail merge a lot of them? Either way, you're in the right place.
Pick Your Barcode by Clicking
 OnMerge™ Barcodes™ is a Word addin. It adds barcodes to Word. The rest of Word works as usual. Just click on the OnMerge Barcodes in the Mailings menu to pop up the single dialog box that lets you choose the type of barcode you need from a menu of virtually all popular barcode types. Here's the list of barcodes. You'll get an instant preview of the selected barcode. Click a few more times to change size, hue, shade, rotation, white/transparent/shaded background, or other optional settings for advanced users.
Connect Barcode to Data Source by Clicking...
Or Just Type In Data
If you're doing a mail merge, point and click to select one or multiple mail merge data source fields to generate your barcodes. Data sources can be most of the usual spreadsheets and databases that Word supports. Just use regular data; there's no need for any data processing to compute checksums or reformat the data into barcode-ready formats. No funny characters needed. It's all taken care of.
Not mail merging? Just type the barcode's data into the OnMerge Barcodes dialog. Again, no need for any funny characters, checksums, start/stop codes or data processing.
Voila! Done. Now, Watch the Live Previews
Create as many barcodes as you like on the page or in your document. Just double-click a barcode if you need to edit it. While setting up mail merges you'll get a live preview of the barcodes as you page through data records using the Word mail merge preview feature.
Great Barcodes Ready For Bad Data
Adults have to plan for this stuff. What happens when you're mail-merging and that occasional error creeps into the data to be barcoded? Sooner or later, missing or incorrect data records will happen. You can't spot a bad barcode just by looking at it, and it would create big problems when scanned later.
Barcode scanners and readers have no common sense and no sense of humor. Realistically, you can't have a barcode solution for ongoing use unless you have a system to catch and deal with bad or missing barcode data, even when you're "sure" the data is good.
OnMerge Barcodes will not produce an invalid barcode. Depending on the error-handling option you set up, OnMerge Barcodes can pop up an explanation of why that record's data is invalid, or it can insert a text box containing that explanation into the document and keep mail merging. Or, it can skip the barcode or even insert a completely different graphic of your choice!
Send Your Barcodes to Anyone
You can use the Word Mail Merge To E-mail feature because OnMerge Barcodes uses no fonts or ActiveX controls. E-mailed barcodes are embedded into email as ordinary images.
Send entire mail-merged documents made with "Save As Document" or "Edit Individual Documents." Again, no fonts or ActiveX controls to install on the other end, meaning any recipient can view and print your files. The recipient only needs OnMerge Barcodes if they need to change the barcodes or make new ones.
Designed for Dummies. Experts Too
Anyone who knows Word Mail Merge will be mail-merging barcodes within minutes. OnMerge Barcodes is designed from the ground up as consumer software that becomes part of Word. Same ease of use as the regular features of Word, same quality of integration with other Word features and with how you work. Just for the experts: know what an FNC1 is? OnMerge has 'em.
