Barcode Tool   

The Barcode Tool allows you to place a barcode you previously defined in the Barcode 
specification dialog box onto the label.

When you choose the Barcode Tool the cursor shape changes from an Arrow to a small set of 
crosshairs and a small barcode pattern under it. 

You can  use the Barcode Tool for  manually entering Barcode information as well as for
barcoding the contents of a database field . To encode the information you entered manually, first 
choose the Barcode Specifications menu entry from the Label menu. Doing this will give you 
the Barcode Specifications dialog box. When the barcode information appears in the data 
field, the barcode preview  appears in the Barcode Preview field. If the data is valid, the  
barcode  symbol corresponding to the Data field information is displayed. Click OK when finished. 

Position the cursor to the place you want and click. The Information you specified will appear on 
the label. Click once more to get corresponding barcode symbol.

If you choose the  Barcode Tool from the Label Tool Palette without  first using  the  
Barcode Specifications dialog box, the text insertion point cursir appears. The Default 
barcode type will be the UPC-E barcode. Insert the  digits and press the Enter key.

If you click on a barcode symbol in a label with the Barcode Tool  selected  the computer will 
show the string of characters that was encoded into the  barcode. If you wish, you can correct 
the mistakes or insert a new record to be encoded. Then, click again and the computer will show 
the barcode.
  
If you double click on the Barcode symbol with the Item Tool selected   the Barcode 
Specification dialog box will be displayed and can make your changes there.(Please see the 
Help information for the Barcode Specifications dialog box found in the Label Menu portion of 
this Help file.)

To make a barcode of the information from the database field, place the database field  on the 
label with the help of the Field Tool. After placing the database field, its name will be displayed 
on the label. Next, choose the Barcode Tool and  click the crosshairs on the field name you just 
placed on the label. The computer will now encode the field name into the barcode. If you want to 
encode the database field contents you need to use the Label Preview option from the File 
menu. Or, use the Item PreviewTool from the Label Tool Palette (Eye icon) and click 
again on the field on the label you want encoded.

If you click QuickAddress field with a  Barcode Tool, you will get a Quick Address 
& Barcode field.
