DisplayBarcode is used to insert a standard bar code into a document. It supports 10 different types of barcode. Depending on the one you choose, the barcode type accepts alphanumeric data of different formats and lengths. As a field code, you can right-click and choose Toggle field codes to go between the code and the barcode image. See the example for several types of barcodes. For the specification, see 3.1.3.2.7 DISPLAYBARCODE.

Instructions
Each barcode may use its own data format, and so check some of the links if you're not sure what's needed.
To use DisplayBarcode in a document, follow these steps:
-
Click or tap where you want the barcode.
-
Press Ctrl + F9. You must do this, as just typing curly brackets {} won't work.
-
Type DisplayBarcode plus arguments and switches. For example DisplayBarcode "http://www.microsoft.com" QR \q 3, which displays a QR code that links you to www.microsoft.com.
-
To see the barcode, right-click the Field code and select Toggle Field Codes.
