7/7/2023 0 Comments Avery templates for ms word![]() Many barcode standards require you to calculate a check digit which you need to add before your barcode will be recognized by barcode scanners such as the IntelliScanner Pro as well as area imagers and portable data collectors.For each barcode type you need a different font and they’re often expensive.Microsoft Word may adjust the character spacing and make the barcode unreadable.They are very limited in use - for instance, 2D barcode fonts don’t exist.A solution could be to use barcode fonts, but there are multiple caveats with using them, which is why industry leading barcode creation apps don’t work with them: Microsoft Word is brilliant with text but its layout capabilities are limited and it lacks a built-in barcode generator. As part of Avery’s service, you can download label templates that are not yet supported by Microsoft Word. Labels are often created to contain barcodes only. ![]() Yes, it's one more confusing thing to learn, but it will be less confusing if you explain it up front.Microsoft develops the industry-standard word processor while Avery manufactures industry-standard labels and label sheets, both for use at home, in the office and in industrial environments. ![]() If all else fails, just educate your users.So that may help to at least differentiate the multiple cursors. It should blink only in the label that is in active focus. You can usually set the blink rate in the OS. The active I-beam cursor blinks, so that may provide a mechanism to at least reduce confusion.There should be a way to build a template that doesn't display multiple insertion points. Or it could be an artifact of how that template was designed. It's possible that it is caused by a mismatch, such as the template being designed to work with an older or newer version of Word.It would be easier to investigate if the behavior can be replicated. You could try reloading the template or Word (and I believe Microsoft has an Office cleanup tool that checks for corruption). It's possible that the display of multiple insertion points is a bug.Anything you would do to modify it would likely need to be done at the OS level, and would affect all text activity in all applications. ![]()
