Let me know and I'll get the users guide and show you how to remove the tab or enter. Typically it's just a barcode you scan in the manual that says remove all suffixes. But all scanner manufacturers do it slightly differently. Regards, Bill Hi Tim,

However, I need to make it so that it doesn't "tab" or "enter" so that when i am entering in a unique room number it doesn't forward to the next field.

I just played around with the Avery label selection and font size, etc. and finally got it to where I was happy with the formatting. Thanks again for all your help! ~cheers!

I'm seeing the same problem you are. It almost looks like the font is adding a stop character for a Code 128 symbology and it can't be deleted. My guess is there is a bug in the font and probably an email should be sent to the author of the font to let him know. But I'm using another free Code 39 font I found a long time ago that does not have the same issue. I will zip it up and email it to the email address you listed in your comment. I will list the subject of the email as Free Code 39 font from Barcodehelponline. In the meantime I will also see if I can figure out what is wrong with the free font from www.barcodesinc.com.

Upon further research, it was recommended that I disable the autoformat option, which I did, but I'm still unable to read the barcode. I tried printing from Wordpad which worked, and noticed that the barcode was a bit shorter than the one from Word. I then realized that in Word, the cursor itself is actually printing some characters (i.e. open a blank word doc, select barcode39 font, and there will be characters displayed on the page even before I type anything). These characters then get tacked onto the end of *anything* I type. Do you know a way around this? Thanks in advance. Bill,
