  • Need to print two types of barcodes on a label in Word Mail Merge? Here's how.
  • See the previous tutorial on setting up barcodes with Word Mail Merge.

Step 1. Label Setup

  • Surround the first text field with brackets. This will be our Code 128 barcode.

Step 2. Set Properties for First Barcode

  • Click on ActiveX Options...
  • Set properties for the first barcode. (Click on the barcode and change Symbology to Code 128 Auto)
  • Set Convert text in: to Brackets.
  • Close the Options window.

Step 3. Convert All

  • Click on Convert All. This creates barcodes for all text fields in brackets.
  • Result so far:

Step 4. Set Properties for the Second Barcode

  • Click on ActiveX Options
  • Set properties for the second barcode. (Click on the barcode and change Symbology to QR Code)
  • Set Convert text in: to Less-than Greater-than.
  • Close the Options window.

Step 5. Convert All (again)

  • Click on Convert All. This creates barcodes for all text fields between Less-than Greater-than signs.

Step 6. Ready

  • All barcodes are now created.
