Patient wrist bands

[Louisq]

Dear Community,
We are wondering if Word would be able to print wristbands. The labels in
Word seem to be too large. Also we need to have the labels with bar codes.
Has anyone tried to set wrist armbands with labels containing barcodes for a
hosptal. Thanks.

Word can be used if you set it up properly. Bar-code fonts are available
in Word (or Excel), and "labels" can be any size you want to create, if
you have sticker sheet, just measure it and type in the dimensions.

Dear Bob,
When I tried to merge the data file, the bar code in the data file was
translated to the label. Is there any way for it to be copied over. Please
advise and thanks for your help.

What should I advise you on, as it seems you have done what you wanted
to do. What seems to be the problem?
