You can use our 'barcodeimage' utility to create barcodes within macros in OpenOffice. This is a simple and easy way to create barcodes automatically. In your macro you create a barcode image file using the 'barcodeimage' utility and then load it into your document.

You can download this example macro from our download page or directly using this link http://download.activebarcode.de/demo/ab_bacodelist.ods. Feel free to use this example for your own and modify it for your needs.

Hint: Please note that this example macros uses a fixed link for the 'barcodeimage' utility on your hard disk to c:/programme/activebarcode/barcodeimage.wsf. If your programs folder has another name (e.g. /programs/) you have to change this inside the macro manually. Have a look at the notes given inside the document.
