Hello, I got this barcode font, but it requires an asterick (*) before and after the text string to be barcoded. The problem is that MS Word apparently makes everything bold if it is between two astericks.

I have Word 2002 and 2003, same problem. The barcode wont read the text because word automatically strips the first asterick off of the template. I am using bookmarks and 'mailmerge' to get the data onto the forms. the data source is our MRP system, so the data itself cannot be modified to include the *. It has to be on the template.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE!
