If you’re a fan of using Microsoft Word for your barcode needs, then there’s good news for you—TEC-IT has recently announced a new barcode add-in for Word.
The add-on, called TBarCode Office, works with Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP or higher to meet al of your barcode generation needs. Once TBarCode Office is installed, a new task bar appears in Word, allowing users to select the required symbology, enter the data to be encoded and click “Insert Barcode,” and it’s generated!
In addition to barcode generation, the add-on offers advanced options such as bar width reduction, font color, human readable text, and international code page setting, making it the most advanced barcode add-on available on the market.

BarTender Librarian offers a system for defining and implementing document management rules in conjunction with a SQL-based alternative to the commonly-used Windows file system.
Secure Data Storage
All of the BarTender label formats are stored in Librarian, rather than your hard drive. This library actually exists in the BarTender System database, allowing for easy setting of security rights and ensuring that only authorized users have access to the database. The BarTender System can also control which users can run Librarian and what permissions they will have once in the program.
Easy Migration of Files
Authorized users can add files to the Librarian database by simply dragging and dropping.
Automatic and Manual Functionality
Librarian allows users to “check out” a label format, meaning that other users will be prevented from editing the label, but can still use it, until you check the label back into Librarian.
