To barcode a merge field in Microsoft Word, place the start/stop character directly in front of and after the field brackets to format the data for the font. For example:

!374-34-1234!

After the data is formatted for the font, select the IDAutomationHC39M font for the merge field as demonstrated in the example below:

!374-34-1234!
