This barcode extension allows you to harness the speed of Calc and generate thousands of individual barcodes. The extension adds the function "ConvertStringToCode128()." Calling that function with a string argument will return a reformatted string that, when changed to the included barcode font, will produce a scannable barcode.

The barcode produced is created with a blend of variants B & C, allowing the full ASCII character set to be encoded, while still taking advantage of the numeric compression defined in Code 128. The download zip file contains the extension and two different code 128 fonts.

When added to a mail / label merge, this tool is invaluable to anyone that needs a lot of barcodes, fast.
