Barcodes in Excel, Word, and Access

Need to make barcodes in Microsoft Office applications? Mail merge with Code 128 barcodes using Excel and Word? Perhaps you're doing UPC barcodes in an Access database.

Wouldn't it be nice to have free sample code like macros, plug-in's, etc. to do all the hard work for you? Heck, who wants to write code from scratch for things like check digits? Not me! I'd rather bolt on a pre-built widget, how about you?

    Do you know where I can find a sample code for macros for arranging barcodes and getting a count for them? I found this website: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=705#instr
    but I'm not sure what all of it means.
    Thank you,
    Renee
